Tendency to fall and injuries related to the Covid-19 pandemic at a department of emergency medicine

CONCLUSION: In this monocentric study of Jena University Hospital, it could be demonstrated for the first time that the Covid-19 pandemic had little impact on the number of inpatients admitted to the Department of Emergency Medicine with a documented diagnosis of susceptibility to falls (R29.6) and of susceptibility to falls in combination with at least one documented injury (S00-T14). As observed in previous publications, the number of inpatient admissions with documented injury diagnoses (S00 to T14) decreased.PMID:37596161 | DOI:10.1016/j.zefq.2023.05.021
