- - The study investigates changes in the causes and characteristics of nosebleed (epistaxis) cases that required hospitalization before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, analyzing data from October 2018 to May 2022 involving 380 cases.
- - Results showed that more patients with general causes for nosebleeds were admitted during the pandemic, while those without such causes were more common before it; the length of hospital stays also varied, with longer stays seen pre-pandemic.
- - The findings suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected both the number of nosebleed cases and the duration of hospitalization, highlighting shifts in medical trends tied to the global health crisis.
