Analysis of effectiveness and outcome of traumatic brain injury treatment in ED during COVID-19 pandemic: A multicenter in Taiwan
The coronavirus disease 2019 has become a threat to global healthcare because of its rapid spread and evolution. In severe cases, the initial management of the disease is mainly supportive therapy and mechanical ventilation. Therefore, we investigated whether a modified emergency department workflow...

description | The coronavirus disease 2019 has become a threat to global healthcare because of its rapid spread and evolution. In severe cases, the initial management of the disease is mainly supportive therapy and mechanical ventilation. Therefore, we investigated whether a modified emergency department workflow affects the efficacy will influence the efficacy and patient outcomes of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in Taiwan. This retrospective observational study used the Chang Gung Research Database in Taiwan from 7 hospitals in the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital System. Clinical index parameters and treatment efficiencies were analyzed between the locally transmitted period (January 20, 2020–June 7, 2020, period 2) and the community spread period (May 19, 2021–July 27, 2021, period 4) with the same interval of the pre-pandemic in 2019 as a reference period. During the locally transmitted period, only the time interval for patients who had to wait for a brain CT examination was, on average, 7.7 minutes shorter, which reached statistical significance. In addition, the number of TBI patients under 18 years of age decreased significantly during the community spread period. The “Door to the operating room (OR),” with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing, was on average 109.7 minutes slower than without the PCR testing in the reference period 2019. TBI treatment efficiency was delayed because of the PCR test. However, the surgical volume and functional outcome during these 2 periods were statistically insignificant compared to the pre-pandemic period because the spread of the virus was well controlled and hospital capacity was increased. |
