If COVID-19 were lockdowns data first announced in March, all but to postpone the procedures and the necessary dates invited to save the doctors and patients in the hospital room. Many elective surgery were rejected, and routine care has been moved largely in line. From the beginning, the doctors of this difficult but necessary precautions would have feared an unintended consequence: the discouragement of people who have done it are always in need of immediate care actually. confirmed today, new data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which concern. During the 10-week declared the US is the crown a national emergency, there was a considerable drop in the number of Americans in emergency rooms seeking care, even for urgent problems such as heart attack, stroke and hyperglycemic crises (a dangerous complication for the life of diabetes), the CDC found. Compared to the pre-pandemic period, about 20% fewer people visit the emergency room for heart attack and stroke care during these 10 weeks and about 10% less than it did for the treatment of diabetes. This means that about 13,000 people apparently jumped to the emergency room for heart attacks in the weeks pass; 11,000 for racing; and about 2000 for hyperglycemic crisis. The most notable decrease was observed among adults over 65 years of heart attack and stroke, and people 44 and younger for hyperglycemic crisis. natural losses of this magnitude are “biologically plausible” for such a short time, says the CDC. Instead, it is more likely that people who chose not to come to the emergency room, maybe because they were afraid of being exposed to COVID-19 or did not want to stay at-home break-orders. The CDC report is based on information from national syndromic surveillance program, the data that collects national level by a subset of hospitals in 47 states and the District of Columbia and captured about 73% of emergency visits. However, there is no monitoring of mortality data according to the CDC report can not say how many of the people who later died urgently jumped care, or how many sought care somewhere other than an emergency room. Previous studies have suggested that mortality rates in the case of pandemic Crown also led to independent conditions. For example, New York would be about 24,000 registered more deaths from March 11 to May predicted 2, but only about 80% was related to COVID-19 At least part of the remaining 20% of the victims probably died because they did not seek care for independent health issues when they otherwise would. A similar trend seems to have played at the national level. By April 4, about 15,000 more deaths were confirmed in the United States, but only about 8,000 crown deaths were recorded during this period, according to an analysis of data from the data Yale Washington Post in order. While at home remain an important way to limit the spread of COVID-19, it should not come at the expense of necessary medical care. In their new CDC report calls on Americans to seek help when serious symptoms, such as chest pain, altered mental status, or loss of motor function, “regardless of COVID 19-pandemic”.
