We conducted a comparative analysis of the differences in the incidence of 8 acute respiratory viruses and the changes in their patterns before and during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
Three sentinel surveillance systems of the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency and data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service were analyzed. The average numbers of reported cases and the related hospital admissions and outpatient data were compared between April 2018-2019 and 2020-2021. Changes in the disease burden and medical expenditures between these 2 time periods were evaluated.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of reported cases of all acute respiratory viral infections, except for human bocavirus, decreased significantly. Data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service also showed decreases in the actual amount of medical service usage and a marked reduction in medical expenditures.
Non-pharmacological interventions in response to COVID-19 showed preventive effects on the transmission of other respiratory viruses, as well as COVID-19. Although COVID-19 had a tremendous impact on society as a whole, with high social costs, there were also positive effects, such as a reduction in the incidence of acute respiratory viral infections.
我们对2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行之前和期间8种急性呼吸道病毒的发病率差异及其模式变化进行了比较分析。
分析了韩国疾病控制与预防机构的三个哨点监测系统以及健康保险审查与评估服务机构的数据。比较了2018年4月至2019年以及2020年至2021年期间报告病例的平均数量以及相关的住院和门诊数据。评估了这两个时间段之间疾病负担和医疗支出的变化。
在COVID-19大流行期间，除人博卡病毒外，所有急性呼吸道病毒感染的报告病例数均显著下降。健康保险审查与评估服务机构的数据还显示医疗服务使用的实际金额下降，医疗支出显著减少。
针对COVID-19的非药物干预措施对其他呼吸道病毒以及COVID-19的传播均显示出预防作用。尽管COVID-19对整个社会产生了巨大影响，社会成本高昂，但也有积极影响，例如急性呼吸道病毒感染的发病率降低。
