TI - Associations between reported healthcare disruption due to COVID-19 and avoidable hospitalisation: evidence from seven linked longitudinal studies for England
JO - The BMJ
AB - BackgroundHealth services across the UK struggled to cope during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many treatments were postponed or cancelled, although the impact was mitigated by new models of delivery. While the scale of disruption has been studied, much less is known about if this disruption impacted health outcomes. The aim of our paper is to examine whether there is an association between individuals experiencing disrupted access to healthcare during the pandemic and risk of an avoidable hospitalisation.
