题目: Institutional Isolation, Patient Routing and COVID-19 Patient Outcomes: Evidence from the Public Intervention of Fangcang Shelter Hospitals (方舱医院与COVID-19的传播和治疗的关系研究)

报告摘要:

We examine the impact of the public intervention of Fangcang shelter hospitals (FSHs) on COVID-19 patient outcomes. We are interested in whether the FSH intervention, which substitutes for home isolation and changes patient routing, could improve patient outcomes. We estimate the FSH impact on transmission control using an epidemiological model and show that the intervention leads to a reduction in the total confirmed cases. Using the data from FSHs and COVID-19 designated hospitals, we also compare the severity and mortality of COVID-19 patients in Wuhan districts with new openings of FSHs to those in districts without new openings using a difference-in-difference method. The results show that compared to those designated hospitals in control districts, both the number of severe patients and the in-hospital fatalities decrease significantly.
