INTRODUCTION: The severe disruptions caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus have
necessitated a redistribution of resources to meet hospitals' current service
needs during this pandemic. The aim of this study was to provide an overview of
the impact of the pandemic, and its corresponding State of Emergency, on a
tertiary traumatology emergency service. METHODS: An observational study was
performed at a tertiary hospital within the Spanish National Health System. Four
different periods were studied, including the first 20 days of Spain's current
State of Emergency, from March 14 to April 02, 2020 (Period 4). This period was
compared to the 20-day period prior to the State of Emergency (Period 3), and to
matching periods in the two previous years (Periods 1 and 2). A total of 6,565
patient visits were analyzed: 1909 in Period 1 (29.1%), 2161 in Period 2 (32.9%),
1983 in Period 3 (30.2%), and 512 in Period 4 (7.8%). Variables collected
included patient age and sex, insurance type, discharge destination and reason
for hospital admission. RESULTS: The patients' mean age was 55.1 years old
(Standard Deviation (SD): 22.1), and 51.8% were women (3495/6565). During the
COVID-19 pandemic, there were significant reductions in total visits to the
trauma emergency department, workplace accidents, traffic accidents and number of
hospital admissions, particularly during Period 4. However, no
statistically-significant differences were found in the number of osteoporotic
hip fractures admitted between the four periods. The numbers of hospital
admissions for osteoporotic hip fracture were 42 during Period 1, 41 during
Period 2, 43 during Period 3 and 36 during Period 4. CONCLUSIONS: While most
traumatological presentations decreased in frequency over the course of the
outbreak, the number of osteoporotic hip fractures remained stable. Thus,
contingency plans in times of crisis need to be carefully targeted, and to keep
in mind certain public health issues that do not decrease, despite a State of
Emergency, like osteoporotic hip fractures.
