Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on hospital-based heart failure care in New South Wales, Australia: a linked data cohort study
Policies implemented DP had minimal impact on volumes of inpatient heart failure care in NSW hospitals, but there were fewer admissions from ED and reduced volumes of publicly funded outpatient care. A rapid shift from patient-facing to remotely delivered care enabled compliance with restrictions and was associated with increased time to heart failure-related adverse events, but access was not afforded equally across the socio-demographic spectrum.
