There are worldwide reports that hospital admissions for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) have declined during the COVID-19 pandemic. Chios is a Greek island with only one confirmed coronavirus case during the lockdown. This study aimed to compare admissions for ACS in Chios General Hospital, Greece, between the COVID-19 lockdown period and the same period in the previous year. Retrospective record analysis of an isolated insular population referring to the only district hospital on the island. ACS incidence, type, and complications were recorded and compared between 26/02/2020-04/05/2020 and between 26/02/2019-04/05/2019. ACS hospital admissions in 2020 were 1.72/10,000 inhabitants 1.03/10,000 inhabitants in 2019 ( = 0.317). No differences in ACS type, duration from symptom onset to first medical contact, hemodynamic status, left ventricular function at discharge, or complications were recorded. The incidence of ACS did not decrease and the prognosis was not worse during the COVID-19 pandemic in a strictly isolated Greek insular population not overwhelmed by coronavirus cases.
全球有报道称，在新冠疫情期间，急性冠状动脉综合征（ACS）的住院人数有所下降。希俄斯岛是希腊的一个岛屿，在封锁期间仅有一例确诊的冠状病毒病例。本研究旨在比较希腊希俄斯岛总医院在新冠疫情封锁期间与上一年同期ACS的住院情况。对转诊至该岛唯一一家地区医院的孤立岛屿人群进行回顾性记录分析。记录并比较了2020年2月26日至2020年5月4日与2019年2月26日至2019年5月4日期间ACS的发病率、类型及并发症情况。2020年ACS的住院人数为每10000名居民中有1.72例，2019年为每10000名居民中有1.03例（P = 0.317）。未记录到ACS类型、症状发作至首次医疗接触的时长、血流动力学状态、出院时左心室功能或并发症方面的差异。在一个未被冠状病毒病例压垮的严格隔离的希腊岛屿人群中，新冠疫情期间ACS的发病率并未下降，预后也未变差。
