[Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Emergencies During the Second Wave of the SARS-CoV2-19 Pandemic: Findings from the Tübingen University Hospital].

Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Emergencies During the Second Wave of the SARS-CoV2-19 Pandemic: Findings from the Tübingen University Hospital Abstract. Objective: Child and adolescent psychiatric emergencies during the SARS-CoV2-19 pandemic are part of a controversial discussion. This study investigates the volume of such emergencies, the age of the patients, and the diagnoses of eating disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD) that occurred at the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Center (CAP) Tübingen during the second wave of the pandemic compared to the year before. Methods: We evaluated data on all emergencies at CAP Tübingen (telephone calls, outpatients, patient admissions) from 10/2019-01/2020 (first time period) and 10/2020-01/2021 (second wave). Results: The volume of emergencies during the second wave (319 presentations) was 29.7 % higher than during the first time period, and the number of patients (172 presentations) increased by 10.3 %. Compared to the first time period, the number of inpatients was 27.9 % higher, and the emergency admissions increased by 27.8 %. Patients in the second wave were somewhat older, with an average age of 14.8 years (first period: 14.2 years). Eating disorders were more frequent during the second wave, whereas OCD were more frequent in the first time period. Conclusions: Almost 30 % more emergencies were recorded in the second wave of the pandemic, with especially eating disorders increasing. Systematic emergency records should be documented at all German CAPs to enable demand-oriented planning.
