Description
Dorian Bogdanovski and co-authors track how injury cases at a Staten Island trauma center changed before, during, and after the COVID-19 lockdown. Their 2026 study follows an earlier report of a dip in trauma in the first months of the crisis. The center is the island's top-level trauma unit.
The team read the records of all adults who came to its emergency department from 2019 through 2023. Cases were split into three spans: before lockdown, the lockdown span from March 2020 to June 2021, and the span after. Injuries were sorted into falls, other accidents, road harm, and assaults, and by how strongly the trauma team was called in. The authors compare the monthly pace of cases across the three spans.
