Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

Protective measures applied during the Covid-19 pandemic had a marked impact on the incidence of pneumonia. However, systematic data are lacking for hospitalizations for pneumonia and acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive lung diseases (AECOPD) not caused by SARS-CoV-2 in Switzerland. We aimed to compare the incidences of hospitalization for these entities between 2020/2021 and prepandemic years.
