Abstract

Objectives

We aimed to evaluate the impact of the pandemic and post-pandemic periods on hospital admissions for LRTI, with a focus on patients with chronic respiratory disease (CRD).

Methods

From July 2013 to June 2023, monthly numbers of adult hospitalisations for LRTI (excluding SARS-CoV-2) were extracted from the French National Hospital Discharge Database. They were modelled by regressions with autocorrelated errors. Three periods were defined: (1) early pandemic and successive lockdowns; (2) gradual lifting of restrictions and widespread SARS-CoV-2 vaccination; (3) withdrawal of restriction measures.

Results

Pre-pandemic incidence was 96 (90.5 to 101.5) per 100,000 population. Compared with the pre-pandemic period, no more seasonality and significant reductions were estimated in the first two periods: −43.64% (−50.11 to −37.17) and −32.97% (−39.88 to −26.05), respectively. A rebound with a positive trend and a seasonal pattern was observed in period 3. Similar results were observed for CRD patients with no significant difference with pre-pandemic levels in the last period (−9.21%; −20.9% to 1.67%), albeit with differential changes according to the type of CRD.

Conclusions

COVID-19 pandemic containment measures contributed to changes in LRTI incidence, with a rapid increase and return to a seasonal pattern after their lifting, particularly in patients with CRD.

法国 COVID-19 大流行后因下呼吸道感染住院的趋势。

目的我们的目的是评估大流行期间和大流行后对 LRTI 住院人数的影响，重点是慢性呼吸道疾病（CRD）患者：从 2013 年 7 月到 2023 年 6 月，每月因 LRTI（不包括 SARS-CoV-2）住院的成人人数均来自法国国家医院出院数据库。通过自相关误差回归法建立模型。研究界定了三个时期：(1) 大流行初期和连续封锁期；(2) 逐步取消限制和广泛接种 SARS-CoV-2 疫苗期；(3) 取消限制措施期：大流行前的发病率为每 10 万人 96 例（90.5 至 101.5 例）。与疫情流行前相比，前两个时期的发病率不再具有季节性，且有明显下降：分别为-43.64%（-50.11 至-37.17）和-32.97%（-39.88 至-26.05）。在第 3 个阶段，观察到呈正趋势的反弹和季节性模式。CRD患者也出现了类似的结果，在最后一个时期与大流行前的水平没有明显差异（-9.21%；-20.9%至1.67%），尽管根据CRD类型的不同而出现不同的变化：COVID-19大流行遏制措施促进了LRTI发病率的变化，在这些措施解除后，LRTI发病率迅速上升并恢复到季节性模式，尤其是在CRD患者中。
