未经评估:COVID-19增加了提供服务的负担,因为政府采取的措施迫使医院取消了大部分择期手术,并导致门诊诊所关闭。这项研究旨在根据约旦北部的患者服务地点和成像方式,评估COVID-19大流行对放射学检查量的影响。
未经评估:在阿卜杜拉国王大学医院(KAUH)进行的成像病例体积,乔丹,对2020年1月1日至2020年5月8日期间的病例进行回顾性收集,并与2019年1月1日至2019年5月28日期间的病例进行比较,以确定COVID-19大流行对放射学检查量的影响.选择2020年研究期,以覆盖COVID-19病例的高峰,并记录对成像病例体积的影响。
UNASSIGNED:2020年,我们的三级中心共进行了46,194例成像病例,而2019年为65,441例。总的来说,2020年影像病例量较2019年同期下降29.4%。相对于2019年,所有成像模式的成像病例体积都有所下降。2020年,核图像数量下降幅度最大(41.0%),其次是超声波数量(33.2%)。介入放射学是受这种下降影响最小的成像模式,下降约22.9%。
UNASSIGNED:在COVID-19大流行及其相关封锁期间,成像病例体积的数量显着减少。受这种下降影响最大的是门诊服务地点。必须采取有效的策略,以避免在未来的大流行中对医疗保健系统产生上述影响。
UNASSIGNED: COVID-19 has an increased burden on the delivery of services because the measures taken by the governments forced hospitals to cancel most of their elective procedures and led to the shutting down of outpatient clinics. This study aimed to evaluate the impact COVID-19 pandemic on the volume of radiology exams based on patient service locations and imaging modality in the North of Jordan.
UNASSIGNED: The imaging case volumes that were performed at the King Abdullah University Hospital (KAUH), Jordan, from 1 January 2020 to 8 May 2020, were retrospectively collected and compared to those from 1 January 2019 to 28 May 2019, to determine the impact of the pandemic of COVID-19 on the volume of radiological examinations. The 2020 study period was chosen to cover the peak of COVID-19 cases and to record the effects on imaging case volumes.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 46,194 imaging
case volumes were performed at our tertiary center in 2020 compared to 65,441 imaging cases in 2019. Overall, the imaging
case volume in 2020 decreased by 29.4% relative to the same period in 2019. The imaging
case volumes decreased for all imaging modalities relative to 2019. The number of nuclear
images showed the highest decline (41.0%) in 2020, followed by the number of ultrasounds (33.2%). Interventional radiology was the least affected imaging modality by this decline, with about a 22.9% decline.
UNASSIGNED: The number of imaging
case volumes decreased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated lockdown. The outpatient service location was the most affected by this decline. Effective strategies must be adopted to avoid the aforementioned effect on the healthcare system in future pandemics.
