Matthew J Cowie, Cicely V M Barron, Anna G Bergin, Noella N Farrell, India G Hansen NZMJ 9 July 2021, Vol 134 No 1538 ISSN 1175-8716 © NZMA 4 www.nzma.org.nz/journal SUMMariES Deficient hand washing amenities in public toilets in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic: a multi-regional survey Nick Wilson, George Thomson This study found major gaps in the way New Zealand public toilets are designed and serviced that could contribute to the risk of infectious disease transmission. This issue is relevant to helping with control of any COVID-19 outbreaks but also other diseases such as the more common norovirus infection. Nevertheless, hand hygiene may only be of relatively minor importance for COVID-19 control when compared to reducing aerosol transmission via improved ventilation, mask use and physical distancing. Māori and Pacific people in New Zealand have higher risk of hospitalisation for COVID-19 Nicholas Steyn, Rachelle N Binny, Kate Hannah, Shaun C Hendy, Alex James, Audrey Lustig, Kannan Ridings, Michael J Plank, Andrew Sporle We use data on cases of COVID-19 in Aotearoa New Zealand up to September 2020 to estimate the risk of hospitalisation for different age and ethnicity groups. After controlling for age and pre-existing conditions, we find that Māori and Pacific people face significantly higher risk of hospitalisation with COVID-19. Our work focuses on the likelihood of hospitalisation given infection, but other risk factors may mean that Māori and Pacific communities also face greater risk of infection. Higher perceived stress and exacerbated motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease during the COVID-19 lockdown in New Zealand Rebekah L Blakemore, Maddie J Pascoe, Kyla-Louise Horne, Leslie Livingston, Bob N Young, Beth Elias, Marie Goulden, Sophie Grenfell, Daniel J Myall, Toni L Pitcher, John C Dalrymple-Alford, Campbell J Le Heron, Tim J Anderson, Michael R MacAskill This manuscript describes findings from a study conducted during New Zealand’s strict and relatively successful lockdown period to contain the SARS-CoV-2 virus. We surveyed our Parkinson’s disease (PD) and healthy control cohorts who are part of our established PD longitudinal study at the New Zealand Brain Research Institute. Here we report strong evidence of an association between higher levels of perceived stress and worsening of PD motor symptoms and higher perceived stress in PD than controls since the lockdown began. This report highlights the close interaction between stress and altered movement function in PD, indicating that monitoring and minimising stress levels during the pandemic may be an important adjunct strategy to improve motor function in PD. NZMJ 9 July 2021, Vol 134 No 1538 ISSN 1175-8716 © NZMA 5 www.nzma.org.nz/journal SUMMariES Life during lockdown: a qualitative study of low-income New Zealanders' experience during the COVID-19 pandemic Kimberley Choi, Namratha Giridharan, Abigail Cartmell, Dominique Lum, Louise Signal, Viliami Puloka, Rose Crossin, Lesley Gray, Cheryl Davies, Michael Baker, Amanda Kvalsvig This research explores the experience of 27 low-income New Zealanders during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Life during lockdown was challenging for study participants who were fearful of the virus and experienced mental distress and isolation. Participants were also resourceful and resilient including using technology, self-help techniques and support from others. New Zealand’s welfare state ensured participants had access to health services and welfare payments, but there were challenges. Despite welcome increases in welfare payments these did not fully meet participants’ needs, and support from charitable organisations was critical. Participants were overwhelmingly positive about the Government’s response and advised the Government to take the same approach in the future. An early and hard lockdown, the welfare state, compassion and clearly communicated leadership were keys to a successful pandemic response for the low-income people in this study. Making sure the New Zealand border is not our Achilles heel: repeated cross-sectional COVID-19 surveys in primary care Kyle Eggleton, Nam Bui, Felicity Goodyear-Smith This is paper presents a primary care perspective on border openings in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study itself is part of an international collaboration designed to analyse and disseminate concerns of primary care in relation to the pandemic. Results from this study show that primary care has expressed repeated concerns about opening the border and see the border as being an ‘Achilles heel’ in our defence against COVID.

  • Optimizing and Standardizing ACS Patient Pathways Canterbury and the New Zealand Healthcare System
    ACHIEVING MEASURABLY BETTER HEALTHCARE PERFORMANCE Optimizing and Standardizing ACS Patient Pathways Canterbury and the New Zealand Healthcare System Patients with chest pain (or other symptoms of a heart attack) are one of the most common patient groups presenting to the Emergency Department (ED). Traditionally, 90% of these patients would be admitted to the ED, exposing many patients to unnecessary risk through invasive testing and representing a large burden to the health system. An integrated clinical team at the Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) recognized that the problem could be solved via use of an Accelerated Diagnostics Pathway (ADP) that enabled the safe early rule out of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). Research partners and collaborations in accordance with the ICARE-ACS initiative led to expansive analytics and outcomes data in this area including application of evidence-based, safe, accelerated diagnostic pathways for rapid discharge of low-risk patients presenting to the ED with suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). Identification of ‘low-risk’ patients using TIMI risk profiles and cardiac biomarkers measured on admission enabled discharge protocols that maximized patient safety while admitting high-risk patients in need of further care. Iterative improvements were observed year over year following adoption of the EDACS risk score and using more sensitive cardiac biomarkers. While maximum discharge rates can be observed with ADP processes leveraging high sensitivity troponin, safe discharge is also possible using point of care. Implementation of these ADP pathways have positively impacted Key Performance Indictors (KPIs) throughout the Canterbury Health System including median length of stay, number of patients transported to central hospitals, cost of prolonged stays and cost of transports, patient satisfaction, and increased clinician confidence.

The announcement yesterday of a community case of COVID-19 in a returnee after they’d left managed isolation is a sobering and timely reminder that we can’t let our guard down – we need to keep up all the good habits that served us well last year. COVID-19 is an extremely tricky virus to manage, as we’ve seen overseas and here in New Zealand. Thankfully this person was diligently using the app everywhere she went. It’s so important to use the COVID Tracer app to scan QR codes and to have the Bluetooth functionality turned on. Turning on Bluetooth functionality will allow you to receive an alert if you have been near another app user who tests positive for COVID-19. If you haven’t already done so, download the COVID Tracer app today, turn on Bluetooth and scan or keep a written record of where you go and when, and who you are with.
