    War significantly impacted pediatric emergency room visits, decreasing overall use and shifting complaint types. Fewer visits for common issues like URI occurred, while more stress-related symptoms were reported during the Gulf War.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Emergency Medicine
    • Public Health
    • War Studies

    Background:

    • Understanding the impact of armed conflict on civilian health is crucial.
    • Pediatric populations may exhibit unique responses to wartime stress.
    • Medical service consumption patterns can serve as indicators of population well-being during crises.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the effects of war on civilian populations.
    • To examine patterns of medical service consumption in a pediatric emergency room setting.
    • To correlate wartime events with changes in healthcare utilization.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective survey design was employed.
    • Variables related to emergency room service utilization were analyzed.

  • Data were collected for periods before, during, and after the Gulf War.

    • Main Results:

    • A dramatic decrease in pediatric emergency room visits was observed during the war.
    • Visits for upper respiratory infections (URI), home accidents, and intoxications decreased.
    • An increase in visits for stress-related complaints such as headaches, restlessness, and tremors was noted.

    Conclusions:

    • Wartime significantly altered pediatric emergency room usage patterns.
    • Visits during the war were more indicative of acute emergency situations.
    • There was a notable reduction in non-urgent, walk-in clinic type visits during the conflict.
