Summary: | The COVID-19 pandemic requires exceptional measures, such as national lockdowns. Several studies have shown important reductions in paediatric emergency department (PED) visits during lockdowns and an Irish study reported that changes in PED attendance continued after restrictions were eased. Better knowledge about how our PED was used during lockdown and as services started reopening can help decision-makers choose restrictions and adapt care services. Our aims were to describe the evolution of PED visits since the French lockdown, shortly after COVID-19 was declared a pandemic, and to compare this to the estimates produced by predictive models that were based on data from before the pandemic. |
