PCI incidence rates during before and after the COVID-19 outbreak in the Campania region, Italy. A, Incidence rates before and after the first reported case of COVID-19 according to the type of ACS. Absolute numbers of PCI cases for ACS, NSTE-ACS, and STEMI were 652, 360, 292 and 441, 244, 197 in the 4 weeks before and the 4 weeks after the outbreak of COVID-19, respectively. In 2019, PCI volumes for the corresponding 4-week period after the outbreak of COVID-19 were 699, 392, 307 for ACS, NSTE-ACS, and STEMI, respectively. B, Incident rates by week according to the type of ACS. Weeks –4 to –1 represent the 4-week period before the first case of COVID-19 in the Campania region (February 27, 2020) and weeks 1 to 4 represent the 4-week period after the COVID-19 outbreak (data were collected until March 26, 2020). C, Incidence rates of PCI for ACS before and after the COVID-19 outbreak according to sex. D, Incidence rates of PCI for ACS before and after the COVID-19 outbreak according to age categories. ACS indicates acute coronary syndrome; COVID-19, coronavirus disease 2019; IRR, incidence rate ratio; NSTE-ACS, non–ST-segment–elevation ACS; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention; and STEMI, ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction.
