摘要

目的:2023 年 8 月,世界上最大的爱尔兰音乐节 Fleadh Cheoil Na hÉireann 在穆林加尔举行,吸引了近 60 万人。我们的目的是评估其对当地急诊科(ED)就诊人数的影响:我们对 2023 年 7 月 23 日至 2023 年 9 月 2 日期间穆林加地区医院(RHM)急诊科的所有就诊病例进行了回顾性病例分析。我们还收集了实验室处理的 COVID-19 拭子结果数据:在弗拉德节的两周内,急诊室就诊人数增加了 10%。与全国的阳性率相比,COVID-19检测结果的增加具有统计学意义:我们的研究表明,Fleadh 导致了全因急诊室就诊人数的增加以及 COVID-19 病例的增加。我们的研究在为未来弗拉德主办城市的医疗服务准备工作提供信息方面发挥了重要作用。

Craic, Ceoil agus COVID-19: the impact of 'Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann' on presentations to the local emergency department.

Craic, Ceoil agus COVID-19: the impact of 'Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann' on presentations to the local emergency department.

Aims: Fleadh Cheoil Na hÉireann, the world's largest Irish music festival, was held in Mullingar in August 2023, gathering a crowd of nearly 600,000 people. Our aim was to assess the impact on presentations to the local emergency department (ED).

Methods: We performed a retrospective case analysis on all presentations to the ED at Regional Hospital Mullingar (RHM) from 23/7/2023 to 02/09/2023. We also collected data on COVID-19 swab results processed in our laboratory.

Results: There was a 10% increase in ED attendances during the 2 weeks of the Fleadh. There was a statistically significant increase in COVID-19 presentations when compared to national positivity rates.

Discussion/conclusion: Our study shows that the Fleadh led to an increase in all-cause ED visits as well as an increase in COVID-19 cases. Our study plays an important role in informing health service preparation for future host towns of the Fleadh.

期刊介绍: The Irish Journal of Medical Science is the official organ of the Royal Academy of Medicine in Ireland. Established in 1832, this quarterly journal is a contribution to medical science and an ideal forum for the younger medical/scientific professional to enter world literature and an ideal launching platform now, as in the past, for many a young research worker. The primary role of both the Academy and IJMS is that of providing a forum for the exchange of scientific information and to promote academic discussion, so essential to scientific progress.
