“…Despite the sharp decrease in the number of ED visits for all causes observed in children during the lockdown period, confirming other Italian literature data [ 7 – 21 ], the number of visits for DAs remained stable, highlighting higher odds of paediatric visits for DA in 2020 than 2019. This increase of risk of DAs during lockdown period confirms data observed in the previous monocentric/regional studies conducted in Italy [ 15 – 17 , 19 , 20 , 22 , 23 ]. It might be explained not only with the growing number of hours spent at home but probably also with the negative psychological effects of COVID-19 home confinement both in children and in parents/caregivers [ 23 ].…”

It might be explained not only with the growing number of hours spent at home but probably also with the negative psychological effects of COVID-19 home confinement both in children and in parents/caregivers [ 23 ]. If lockdown on the one hand concurred to the reduction of total ED visits for the decrease of infectious diseases in children, on the other, it contributed to the deterioration of psychological wellbeing due to home confinement, the lack of personal space, physical activity, and social interaction, not only for children but also in parents.…”

“…Unfortunately, the special needs of children during disasters and epidemics are often unrecognized [ 7 ]. Lockdown inevitably had serious consequences on the lives and well-being of children and young people, extending beyond those of direct viral infection [ 8 ]. Have we, as a society, seriously considered the effects of the quarantine and prolonged lockdowns, during the recent pandemic, on children’s health, particularly in relation to home injuries?…”
