note = "Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic precipitated fear of contagion and influenced many people to avoid the emergency department (ED). It is unknown if this avoidance effected overall health or disease mortality. Objective: We aimed to quantify the decreased ED volume in the United States, determine whether it occurred simultaneously across the country, find which types of patients decreased, and measure resultant changes in patient outcomes.",
