Introduction The COVID‐19 pandemic not only affected physical health but also caused high levels of mental health problems including sleep disturbances, depression and post‐traumatic stress symptoms. The aim of this study was to examine the sleep parameters of healthcare workers before COVID‐19 infection and after recovery. Materials and Methods Healthcare workers who were infected with COVID‐19 and whose treatment was completed at least 30 days ago were included in the study. A web‐based cross‐sectional survey was conducted on the participants. Results The median PSQI score increased significantly after COVID‐19 infection (7.0) compared with the level before COVID‐19 infection (5.0). The increases in median scores for subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, sleep efficiency, sleep disturbance, use of sleeping medication and daytime dysfunction were all significant. Conclusion Sleep quality decreased during the convalescence period from COVID‐19 infection as compared with the pre‐COVID‐19 period.

While both PECARN and CATCH were found to be effective in determining the necessity of CBT for children with minor blunt head trauma, PECARN proved to be more useful for emergency services because of its higher sensitivity. The authors suggest that conducting a CBT scan based on clinical decision rules may be a suitable approach for early detection of the presence of intracranial acute pathologies in young children with minor blunt head trauma, especially if the GCS score is < 15 and non-frontal hematomas are present.
