Description
Morgan Recher and co-authors present a 2024 study of child accident admissions in France during the first Covid lockdown. They use the national hospital database for the first seven months of 2020 and the same span in 2019. Periods before, during, and after lockdown are split apart.
Admissions fell in all periods, but the drop during lockdown was steep: nearly half the prior year's rate. Critical care accident stays also fell by a third then. Total accident admissions over the span dropped by well over ten thousand. The authors suggest home safety during lockdown deserves study, since children spent far more time at home yet reached hospital less.
