Impact of societal restrictions and lockdown on trauma admissions during the <scp>COVID</scp>‐19 pandemic: a single‐centre cross‐sectional observational study

Abstract

There was a significant decrease in the overall number of trauma-related admissions during the COVID-19-related period of societal restrictions and lockdown. This was due to a decrease in minor traumas, falls and road traffic collisions. There was no difference in the number of admissions secondary to major traumas, self-harm or assault.
