Abstract

Abstract Background  With an increasing number of cases of COVID-19 disease, the Indian government announced a complete lockdown on March 24, 2020, and the country remained under complete lockdown in April 2020. After ramping up health infrastructure and although cases were on the rise, the lockdown was ordered to gradually lift in May 2020. Methodology  It was a retrospective cross-sectional study of all patients admitted to our medical college trauma center in April 2020 and who were compared with April 2019. We studied the prevalence and outcome of road traffic accidents (RTA), assault, and fall from height (FFH) victims admitted to our trauma center. Data were collected using an Excel sheet, and statistical analysis was done using the latest available SSPS software. Results  Our study groups included 124 trauma patients from April 2020 as compared with 322 trauma patients from April 2019. The intense lockdown resulted in a decrease in the number of RTA (−72%), FFH (–29%), and assault patients (–7%). There was no statistically significant change in patients' care and management at our center in terms of mortality and morbidity. No Covid-19-positive neurosurgery trauma patients were admitted in April 2020 to our center. Conclusion  During the stringent lockdown period of April 2020, there was a significant decrease in the number of trauma victims, especially RTAs. The intense lockdown resulted in a significant decrease in the proportion of trauma victims under the influence of alcohol, head injuries, fractures, and dislocations along with a decrease in the number of cases of assaults and FFH as compared with the unlock period.

印度三级医院封锁对神经外科创伤患者的影响
背景随着新冠肺炎病例不断增加,印度政府于2020年3月24日宣布全面封锁,到2020年4月仍处于全面封锁状态。在加强了卫生基础设施之后,尽管病例有所增加,但在2020年5月,封锁被下令逐步解除。方法对2020年4月我院创伤中心收治的所有患者进行回顾性横断面研究,并与2019年4月进行比较。我们研究了道路交通事故(RTA)、攻击和高空坠落(FFH)受害者的发生率和结果。采用Excel表格收集数据,采用最新的SSPS软件进行统计分析。我们的研究组包括124例2020年4月的创伤患者,而2019年4月的创伤患者为322例。严格的封锁导致RTA(- 72%)、FFH(-29%)和攻击患者(-7%)的数量减少。在死亡率和发病率方面,我们中心对患者的护理和管理没有统计学上的显著变化。2020年4月,我中心无新冠肺炎阳性神经外科创伤患者。结论在2020年4月的严格封锁期间,创伤患者,特别是rta人数明显减少。与开锁期间相比,严格的封锁导致酒精影响下的创伤受害者、头部受伤、骨折和脱臼的比例大幅下降,袭击和暴力事件的数量也有所减少。
