Abstract |
Background |
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to decreased access to care and social isolation, which have the potential for negative psychophysical effects. We examine the impact of the pandemic on physical and mental health outcomes after trauma.
Methods |
Patients in a prospective study were included. The cohort injured during the pandemic was compared to a cohort injured before the pandemic. We performed regression analyses to evaluate the association between the COVID-19 pandemic and physical and mental health outcomes.
Results |
1,398 patients were included. In adjusted analysis, patients injured during the pandemic scored significantly worse on the SF-12 physical composite score (OR 2.21; [95% CI 0.69–3.72]; P = 0.004) and were more likely to screen positive for depression (OR 1.46; [1.02–2.09]; P = 0.03) and anxiety (OR 1.56; [1.08–2.26]; P = 0.02). There was no significant difference in functional outcomes.
Conclusions |
Patients injured during the COVID-19 pandemic had worse mental health outcomes but not physical health outcomes.
