The Impact

Objective: To compare emergency department (ED) presentations and hospital admissions for urgent early pregnancy conditions in Victoria before and after the onset of COVID-19 lockdown on 31 March 2020. Design: Population-based retrospective cohort study Setting: Australian state of Victoria Population: Pregnant women presenting to emergency departments or admitted to hospital Methods: We obtained state-wide hospital separation data from the Victorian Emergency Minimum Dataset and the Victorian Admitted Episodes Dataset from January 1, 2018, to October 31, 2020. A linear prediction model based on the pre-COVID period was used to identify the impact of COVID restrictions. Main outcome measures: Monthly ED presentations for miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy, hospital admissions for termination of pregnancy, with subgroup analysis by region, socioeconomic status, disease acuity, hospital type. Results: There was an overall decline in monthly ED presentations and hospital admissions for early pregnancy conditions in metropolitan areas where lockdown restrictions were most stringent. Monthly ED presentations for miscarriage during the COVID period were consistently below predicted, with the nadir in April 2020 (790 observed vs 985 predicted, 95% CI 835-1135). Monthly admissions for termination of pregnancy were also below predicted throughout lockdown, with the nadir in August 2020 (893 observed vs 1116 predicted, 95% CI 905-1326). There was no increase in ED presentations for complications following abortion, ectopic or molar pregnancy during the COVID period. Conclusions: Fewer women in metropolitan Victoria utilized hospital-based care for early pregnancy conditions during the first seven months of the pandemic, without any observable increase in maternal morbidity.

Abstract Over the past decade opioid use has risen globally. The causes and consequences of this increase, especially in Europe, are poorly understood. We conducted a population-based cohort study using national statistics on analgesics prescriptions, opioid poisoning hospital admissions and deaths in the Netherlands from 2013 to 2017. Pain prevalence and severity was determined by using results of 2014–2017 Health Interview Surveys. Between 2013 and 2017 the proportion of residents receiving opioid prescription rose from 4.9% to 6.0%, and the proportion of those receiving NSAIDs decreased from 15.5% to 13.7%. Self-reported pain prevalence and severity remained constant, as 44.7% of 5,119 respondents reported no pain-impeded activities-of-daily-living in 2014 (aRR, 1.00 [95% CI, 0.95–1.06] in 2017 vs 2014). Over the observation period, the incidence of opioid poisoning hospitalization and death increased from 8.6 to 12.9 per 100,000 inhabitants. The incidence of severe outcomes related to opioid use increased, as 3.9% of 1,343 hospitalized for opioid poisoning died in 2013 and 4.6% of 2,055 in 2017. We demonstrated that NSAIDs prescription decreased and opioid prescription increased in the Netherlands since 2013, without an increase in pain prevalence and severity. Consequently, the incidence of severe outcomes related to opioids increased.

The Relationship

BackgroundClinical and population-based studies report increased prevalence of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in individuals with anorexia nervosa and in their relatives. No nationwide study has yet been published on co-occurrence of these disorders.AimsTo investigate comorbidity of ASD in individuals with anorexia nervosa, and aggregation of ASD and anorexia nervosa in their relatives.MethodIn Danish registers we identified all individuals born in 1981–2008, their parents, and full and half siblings, and linked them to data on hospital admissions for psychiatric disorders.ResultsRisk of comorbidity of ASD in probands with anorexia nervosa and aggregation of ASD in families of anorexia nervosa probands were increased. However, the risk of comorbid and familial ASD did not differ significantly from comorbid and familial major depression or any psychiatric disorder in anorexia nervosa probands.ConclusionsWe confirm aggregation of ASD in probands with anorexia nervosa and in their relatives; however, the relationship between anorexia nervosa and ASD appears to be non-specific.
