Variables not included in the models: role in the ED (physician or nurse), ED area (pre-hospital emergency care, first line or short stay unit), work regional area, marital status, living with elderly, comorbidity index, impact on family planning, severe illness or death of family members or relatives/friends, occurrence of COVID or positivity during the pandemic period.

A multivariable model was developed by stepwise forward analysis of factors significant in univariable analysis and according to selected predictors. Data were expressed as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Colinearity was tested by the variation inflation factor (<2, not significant) in the analyses.
