description Little is known about the change in characteristics of fever-clinic visits during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We sought to examine the changes in the volume, characteristics, and outcomes of patients presenting at a fever clinic duringclinic during the first-level response to COVID-19. We conducted a single tertiary-center retrospective case-control study. We included consecutive patients aged 14 years or older who visited the fever clinic of a tertiary hospital during the period of the first-level response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Fuzhou, China (from 24 January to 26 February 2020). We also analyzed the data of patients in the same period of 2019 as a control. We compared a number of outcome measures, including the fever clinic volumes, consultation length, proportion of patients with pneumonia, hospital admission rate, and in-hospital mortality, using the fever-clinic visit data during the two periods. We included 1,013 participants [median age: 35; interquartile range (IQR): 27-50, 48.7% male] in this retrospective study, including 707 in 2020 and 306 in 2019. The median daily number of participants who presented at the fever clinic in 2020 was significantly higher than that in 2019 [18 (IQR: 15-22) 13 (IQR: 8-17), P=0.001]. Participants in 2020 had a longer consultation length than those in 2019 [127 (IQR: 51-204) 20 (IQR: 1-60) min, P

The hospital admission rate in 2020 was higher than in 2019 [73 (10.3%) 13 (4.2%), P=0.001]. No significant difference was found in terms of the in-hospital mortality of participants in 2020 and 2019 [8 (1.1%) 0, P=0.114]. Our findings suggest a higher visits volume, proportion of acute pneumonia, and hospital admission rate among patients presenting at fever clinic during the COVID-19 pandemic.
