Census data from 14 March 2018 to 14 April 2020, including our paediatric orthopaedics outpatient clinic, paediatric trauma emergency department (ED) and paediatric orthopaedic and trauma surgical cases were reviewed to compare the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak. In Figure 2 , *Univariate statistical analysis consisted of a student two-tailed t-test to compare the outcomes of mean number of consultations (including onsite and telemedicine), mean number of surgical procedures (including elective and urgent) and emergencies between 2018, 2019 and 2020 (including triage level). As the COVID-19 pandemic has interfered in our daily practice, we have found a decrease in the number of paediatric trauma patients admitted to our ED, the number of patients visiting onsite to our paediatric orthopaedic clinic and the number of elective cases compared with other years. ./cache/cord-257274-fzyamd7v.txt ./txt/cord-257274-fzyamd7v.txt
