摘要Background:The coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)pandemic has led to the control of movement and diversion of medical re-sources in many countries.This affects the provision of care to critically injured patients.Methods:We analyzed data from the trauma registry of a regional trauma center in Singapore,looking at patient volume and the pattern of injuries over a 3-month period.This was compared with the same period in the preceding 2 years.Results:A total of 93 patients were admitted during this period,compared with 111 in 2019 and 118 in 2018,a drop of 15%to 20%.The proportion of severely injured patients and the mechanism of injury were largely unchanged.Conclusion:Although there was a minor decrease in the absolute number of patients,the severity and pattern of injuries remained un-changed.Planners should consider this when planning for the diversion of medical and nursing resources.
