This article details a retrospective comparison study exploring the response of one acute hospital to COVID-19 in the learning disability population. A wide range of data were collected for the period between March 2020 and March 2021 about patients with learning disabilities, including admissions and deaths, do not attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation (DNACPR) orders, ceilings of care and input from the learning disabilities acute liaison team. Data from the five years preceding the study were also collected. These data were compared with data about the general population, in the hospital and nationally. The data show that there had been no significant increase in the number of deaths of people with learning disabilities at the hospital during the first 13 months of the pandemic. However, this could be because fewer people attended hospital and more died in the community. Wider and more in-depth investigation is needed to understand the factors that may increase the risk of COVID-19-related death for people with learning disabilities. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
