Studies have shown an increase in the incidence of OHCA during different waves of the pandemic, but there is limited evidence on how survival rates and rescue efforts have been affected in the post-pandemic period. Methods: We performed a retrospective observational cohort study of all OHCA rescues by AREU (Agenzia Regionale Emergenza Urgenza), in the Lombardy region in March in three different years (2019, 2021 and 2022). We used rescue mission data collected in AREU’s database, where logistic information of patient rescue missions managed by the Lombardy Region’s 112 system is recorded.Results: This study was an epidemiology analysis of OHCA after the pandemic. The results showed no significant changes in the probability of receiving bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (22.5% vs 24.0%; p=0.41) and public access defibrillation (3.6 vs 3.2; p=0.50) compared to pre-pandemic period. However, there was a decrease in the probability of ROSC (11.5% vs 6.2%; p<0.01).Conclusion: According to our analysis, there appears to be a return to the pre-pandemic phase with regard to the OHCA network. However, it remains to be pointed out that a careful study of disease networks is essential to understand the resilience of our health system and to understand whether we have returned to a system similar to the pre-pandemic phase after the COVID-19 pandemic.","PeriodicalId":510132,"journal":{"name":"Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Public Health","volume":"289 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139183295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By understanding the trends and patterns in mortality rates, decision-makers can make informed choices on prioritization of interventions to pandemics.Method: Death figures due to COVID-19 between 17 March 2020 and 27 November 2022 were taken into account in this study. Mortality data were analyzed using statistical and graphical methods. Von Bertalanffy’s growth model parameters were estimated for each wave. Then the model performance measures were calculated.Discussion: In this study, the course and change of daily mortality data over time were examined. The data reveal that the COVID-19 pandemic occurred in Turkey as four waves. Von Bertalanffy’s growth model appears to be an explanatory model for all pandemic waves according to the performance measures.Conclusion: It was observed that the COVID-19 pandemic spread in Turkey in four waves. Investigating COVID-19 and similar pandemics using versatile and multidisciplinary methods is of great importance in understanding and predicting the behavior of pandemics.","PeriodicalId":510132,"journal":{"name":"Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Public Health","volume":"202 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139254404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
