Changes in the nationwide number of emergency department visits following the junior physicians’ walkout in South Korea: An interrupted time-series analysis

The junior physicians' walkout was associated with a substantial reduction in ED visits and ED capacity. These findings may reflect both a scale-down of emergency medical services and changes in healthcare-seeking behavior. Further research is needed to assess the public health implications of such abrupt service disruptions.

These findings may reflect both a scale-down of emergency medical services and changes in healthcare-seeking behavior. Further research is needed to assess the public health implications of such abrupt service disruptions.
