Analysis of the impact of COVID-19 on some medical institutions in a certain region

Abstract

Objective: This study is designed to analyze the impact of COVID-19 on hospitals in a certain region through the statistical comparison of outpatient, emergency and inpatient data of three representative AAA hospitals in this region from January and February of 2019 and 2020.

Methods: Relevant outpatient, emergency and inpatient data of three representative AAA hospitals in a certain region from January and February of 2019 and 2020 were collected, and the statistical analysis was conducted by using EXCEL 2019 and SPSS20.0.

Results: In January and February of 2020, the number of the outpatient, the emergency, the inpatient and the inpatient surgical interventions in the three hospitals was significantly decreased in comparison with the same period in 2019, and the change of the emergency dispatching amount was relatively small. The mortality of the inpatient in January and February in 2020 was about 2.82%, and that in the same period in 2019 was about 1.51%, with an increase of about 1.31%, which presented a statistically significant difference (χ² = 348.422; p = .000).

Conclusions: The outbreak of COVID-19 had a great impact on the normal operation of the hospital.
