Table 2.
ED visits by the most typical low-energy fractures from March 18 to May 31, 2019 and 2020 in 4 Finnish hospitals. Zero-inflated Poisson regression model was used to compare the differences in the average daily ED visits due to injury between the lockdown period and the same period in 2019 for each stratum
