Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on inpatient dermatology consult patterns at a tertiary care hospital: A retrospective cohort study

Bier anaemic spots, cyanosis and urticaria‐like eruption syndrome: Report of two new cases

“…Fortunately, we were able to avoid reliance on teledermatology and its associated limitations that may miss important diagnoses. 6 Acute dermatitis featured more in 2020, similar to findings from other countries, 5 and as expected subacute referrals reduced (e.g. NMSC).…”

Impact of COVID‐19 on inpatient dermatology consults in an Australian tertiary hospital

“… 5 In the United States, one centre reported a reduction of 29% in inpatient dermatology consults from March to May 2019 and 2020. 6 42% of these consults were done by teledermatology. 5 We used teledermatology at the beginning of April for a select few patients in order to minimise in‐person consults due to limitations of personal protective equipment (PPE); however, hospital supplies were subsequently assured and local policies changed.…”

Dermatology in a multidisciplinary approach with infectious disease and obstetric medicine against COVID-19

“…Teledermatology, which has become increasingly common since the start of the pandemic, can both increase access to dermatologic care for inpatients and reduce the risk of infection spread ( Trinidad et al, 2020 ; Bhargava et al, 2020 c). However, teledermatology has been linked with lower rates of diagnostic certainty, necessitating follow-up in-person consults for as many as 25% of patients in one study ( Rogers et al, 2021 ). Future research with collaboration by dermatology and ID could help further delineate guidelines for dermatology consult in COVID-19 patients and determine cases appropriate for teledermatology.…”
