- ABSTRACT
Background: Otorhinolaryngology head and neck surgery (ORL-HNS) can cause symptoms similar to COVID-19. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many ENT-HNS patients were reluctant to take ENT-HNS-related complaints to the hospital due to negative stigma, advice to stay at home, and fear of misinformation about COVID-19 among patients with COVID-19. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the visits and diseases of ENT-HNS patients at Hasan Sadikin General Hospital in Bandung during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: This study uses a retrospective descriptive method. The data taken are secondary data from the medical record of the patient in the outpatient clinic, emergency clinic and hospital ORL-HNS RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung 04/01/2020 to 31/04/2022.
Results: Between April 1, 2020 and April 31, 2022, there were 1,551 patient visits, 702 emergency department visits, and 17,776 outpatient visits at Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung ORL-HNS. When diagnosed with ENT-HNS patients, most of them receive chemotherapy for malignancy. At the same time, upper airway obstruction was the most frequently diagnosed ENT-HNS emergency patient. The largest number of visits to the ORL-HNS polyclinic was for head and neck surgery
Conclusion: the number of ENT-HNS visits in hospital, emergency room and outpatient care decreased in 2020-2022 compared to 2018-2020.
