“…Similarly, it has been shown that hospitalization for myocardial infarction decreased by 47.1% during the pandemic period and percutaneous coronary intervention decreased, especially in the non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) group in Turkey. 21 In our study, 87.2% of cardiologist reported a significant decrease in STEMI cases, and 58.6% of them wrote that patients reluctant to come to the hospital and fear of transmission as the main cause. Our results were consistent with the existing literature.…”

“…Erol et al's study showed that in-hospital major adverse cardiac events increased significantly during the pandemic period. 21 Cardiologists stated that patients' ambulatory follow-up was significantly affected in this process. In our study, one of the causes of increased anxiety among physicians is the disruption of routine functioning and disruptions in patient follow-up.…”

Pandemics are large-scale infectious disease outbreaks that can greatly increase morbidity and mortality across a wide geographic area and cause significant economic, social, and political disruption. Increased global travel and integration, urbanization, changes in land use, and greater use of the natural en-vironment suggest that the likelihood of a pandemic has increased over the past century. 1,2 Recently, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003, influenza in 2009, Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) in 2012, Ebola in 2014, Zika virus in 2016, and today coronavirus disease-

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic period, the unnecessary use of the emergency department (ED) affects the motivation of health care providers leading the healthcare services to be far from being efficient, delays the care of the patients having an actual emergency situation and reduces the quality of education in teaching clinics. Methods: Diagnoses in the visits were classified based on International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) categories and were analyzed into subgroups based on common reasons for ED visits. Results: While the number of ED visits in the first year of the pandemic period decreased by 26% compared to the previous year, the frequency of admissions in the circulatory system (CS), stomach and intestinal system (SIS), nervous system (NS), trauma (T), infectious disease (ID), endocrine system (ES), muscular system and connective tissues (MCT), gynecology and pregnancy (GP), environmental emergency (EE), mental and behavioral disorders (MBD), examination and encounter for administrative purposes (EEAP) was higher than expected and the frequency of admission and referral was also significantly more than the expected value (P < 0.001). Conclusion: In addition to the significant decrease in the number of ED visits during the pandemic, the fact that higher admission and referral frequency were observed indicating that the patients visited the emergency service in the late phases with severe clinical conditions.
