PURPOSE: This paper aims to report the impact of COVID-19 outbreak on Emergency
Ear nose and Throat (ENT) activity, in Lombardy (Italy), during COVID-19
pandemic. METHODS: The number of accesses to Emergency Department requiring ENT
consultations between February 21st and May 7th, 2020, was retrospectively
collected, along with the conditions treated. Data were stratified in 1-week time
spans, to evaluate the evolving trends during the on-going epidemic and a
comparison with the two previous years was performed. RESULTS: A significant
reduction in the number of consultations performed during the pandemic was
observed, as high as?-?91% compared to the same period of 2018. CONCLUSION:
Multiple reasons can explain such a reduction of Emergency ENT consultations, not
least the fear of potentially being infected by SARS-CoV-2 by while accessing the
hospital. The analysis performed might be useful as a starting point for a future
reorganization of first aid consultations once the epidemic will be resolved.
