          RESUMEN. Introducción: El comportamiento de la accidentabilidad durante la pandemia (2020-2021) fue distinto para cada país; además, se observó cambios en las características de los accidentes de trabajo. Objetivos: Describir el comportamiento y los fatores asociados a la accidentabilidad laboral atendida en el Servicio de Emergencia de un hospital del Seguro Social de Perú de Lima Metropolitana, durante la pandemia de la COVID-19. Material y Métodos: Estudio transversal analítico, que revisó la data de los reportes de accidentes que llegaron a un hospital del seguro social peruano, se tomó como variable principal al período de ocurrencia, según eso se obtuvo estadísticos descriptivos y analíticos. Resultados: De los 5753 accidentes analizados, los años con más accidentes fueron el 2018 (45,7%) y el 2019 (23,1%), durante la pandemia (2020 - 2021) hubo 26,0% de la totalidad de accidentes. En el modelo multivariado se encontró que en la pandemia hubo más accidentes por aplastamiento (RPa: 2,1; IC95%: 1,5-2,9; valor p<0,001) y de agresiones por arma (RPa: 1,2; IC95%: 1,1-1,4; valor p=0,005). Los accidentes más prevalentes fueron por trauma interno (RPa: 1,6; IC95%: 1,1-2,3; valor p=0,025), por torcedura (RPa: 1,2; IC95%: 1,0-1,4; valor p=0,025) y por fracturas (RPa: 1,5; IC95%: 1,1-1,9; valor p=0,002). Las zonas más afectadas fueron la región lumbosacra (RPa: 1,4; IC95%: 1,1-1,8; valor p=0,009) y los dedos (RPa: 1,1; IC95%: 1,0-1,3; valor p=0,046). Conclusión: Durante la pandemia, hubo más accidentes por aplastamiento, por agresiones, por trauma interno, por torcedura, por fracturas, en la región lumbosacra y en los dedos.

          ABSTRACT Introduction: The behavior of the accident rate during the pandemic (2020-2021) was different for each country; In addition, changes in the characteristics of work accidents were observed. Objective: To describe the behavior of occupational accidents attended in the Emergency Service of a Peruvian Social Security hospital in Metropolitan Lima, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and Methodo: Cross-sectional study, which reviewed the data from accident reports that arrived at a Peruvian social security hospital, taking the period of occurrence as the main variable, according to which descriptive and analytical statistics were obtained. Results: Of the 5,753 works accidents analyzed, the years with the most accidents were 2018 (45.7%) and 2019 (23.1%), during the pandemic (2020-2021) there were 26.0% of all accidents. In the multivariate model, it was found that during the pandemic there were more accidents due to crushing (aPR: 2,1; 95% CI: 1,5-2,9; value p<0,001) and attacks by weapons (aPR: 2,1; IC95%: 1,5-2,9; value p<0,001). The most prevalent accidents due to internal trauma (aPR: 1.6; 95%CI: 1.1-2.3; p value=0.025), sprain (aPR: 1.2; 95%CI: 1.0-1.4; p value=0.025) and fractures (aPR: 1.5; 95% CI: 1.1-1.9; p value=0.002). The most affected areas were the lumbosacral region (aPR: 1.4; 95% CI: 1.1-1.8; p value=0.009) and in fingers (aPR: 1.1; 95% CI: 1.0-1.3; p value=0.046). Conclusion: During the pandemic, there were more accidents due to crushing, assaults, internal trauma, sprains, fractures, in the lumbosacral region and in the fingers.

            Effect of the COVID-19 pandemic during the first lockdown in the Netherlands on the number of trauma-related admissions, trauma severity and treatment: the results of a retrospective cohort study in a level 2 trauma centre

            Objectives To determine the impact of the first lockdown in the Netherlands’ measures during the COVID-19 pandemic on the number and type of trauma-related injuries presenting to the emergency department (ED). Design A single-centre retrospective cohort study. Setting A level 2 trauma centre in Breda, The Netherlands. Participants All patients with trauma seen at the ED between 11 March and 10 May 2020 (the first Dutch lockdown period) were included in this study. Comparable groups were generated for 2019 and 2018. Main outcome measures Primary outcomes were the total number of patients with trauma admitted to the ED and the trauma mechanism. Secondary outcomes were triage categories, time of ED visit, trauma severity (Injury Severity Score (ISS) >12), anatomical region of injury and treatment. Results A total of 4674 patients were included in this study. During the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a decrease of 32% in traumatic injuries at the ED (n=1182) compared with the previous years 2019 (n=1717) and 2018 (n=1775) (p 12. The amount of patients admitted for emergency surgery was significantly higher (14.6% vs 9.4%; 8.6%, p<0.001). Seven patients (0.6%) tested positive for COVID-19. Conclusions Measures taken in the COVID-19 outbreak result in a predictable decrease in the total number of patients with trauma, especially sports-related trauma. Although the trauma burden on the emergency room appears to be lower, more people have been admitted for trauma surgery, possibly due to increased throughput in the operating theatres.

              Epidemiological pattern of orthopaedic fracture during the COVID-19 pandemic: A systematic review and meta-analysis

              Introduction This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed evaluate the 30-day mortality, number and site of fracture, mechanism of injury, and location where injury was sustained during the pandemic compared to pre-pandemic. Methods We performed a systematic literature search from PubMed and Embase on original articles, research letters, and short reports which have data about the number of fractures, site of fracture, mechanism of injury, location where injury was sustained, percentage of operative intervention, mortality during the pandemic compared to a specified period of time before the pandemic. The search was finalized in October 14, 2020. Results A total of 11,936 participants from 16 studies were included in our study. The pooled analysis indicated a higher 30-days mortality associated with fractures during the pandemic (9% vs 4%, OR 1.86 [1.05, 3.27], p = 0.03; I2: 36%, p = 0.15). The number of fractures presenting to hospitals has declined 43% (35–50%) compared to pre-pandemic. Hand fracture was fewer during the pandemic (18% vs 23%, OR 0.75 [0.58, 0.97], p = 0.03; I2: 69%, p = 0.002). Work-related traumas, high-energy falls, and domestic accidents were more common during the pandemic, while sports-related traumas were found to be less. Injuries that occurred in the sports area were lower than before the pandemic. Conclusion The present meta-analysis showed that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of fractures has decreased, but there is a higher mortality rate associated with fractures.
