Article Synopsis
- The study examined how the COVID-19 pandemic affected intimate partner violence (IPV) incidents and injury severity by comparing data from emergency department visits before and during the pandemic, specifically through various lockdown periods.
- A total of 128 individuals, primarily women, were studied, showing that IPV visit numbers during the pandemic were similar to pre-pandemic levels, with slight variations noted during different lockdown phases.
- Despite more cases of moderate to severe injuries during the pandemic, the overall injury severity scores did not show statistically significant differences compared to the pre-COVID period.
