Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on emergency department visits in adults with diabetes: findings from the national health interview survey

Limited access to routine care during the COVID-19 pandemic for diabetes should have led to increased ED visits but the study found significant reduction in ED visits compared to pre-pandemic in people living with diabetes. Future studies are needed to examine whether the reductions in ER were derived from better telemedicine use or avoidance of using necessary care. Also, studies are needed for developing solutions that preserves healthcare delivery in public health care crisis.

Abstract

Limited access to routine care during the COVID-19 pandemic for diabetes should have led to increased ED visits but the study found significant reduction in ED visits compared to pre-pandemic in people living with diabetes. Future studies are needed to examine whether the reductions in ER were derived from better telemedicine use or avoidance of using necessary care. Also, studies are needed for developing solutions that preserves healthcare delivery in public health care crisis.
