Interrupted time-series analysis showed unintended consequences of non-pharmaceutical interventions on paediatric hospital admissionsCOVID-19-associated non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI) have disrupted respiratory viral transmission. We quantified the changes in paediatric hospital admissions in 2020 from five different NPI phases in Western Australia for acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI) in children in the context of all-cause admissions.
