Background During the initial phase of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, reduced numbers acutely ill or injured children presented to emergency departments (EDs). Concerns were raised about potential for delayed and more severe presentations an increase in diagnoses such as diabetic ketoacidosis mental health issues.

Background Bronchiolitis is a major source of morbimortality among young children worldwide. Non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) implemented to reduce the spread severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 may have had an important impact on bronchiolitis outbreaks, as well societal consequences. Discriminating between their respective impacts would help define optimal public health strategies against bronchiolitis. We aimed assess each NPI outbreaks in 14 European countries. Methods...
