Document: This study shows that following a MERS outbreak, UF patients had a longer duration of febrile symptoms prior to ED arrival than over the preceding three years and the length of ED stay was also increased after the outbreak. This means that crowding for UF patients was increased after the MERS outbreak. A previous study reported the adverse impact of Ebola on the health system in Sierra Leone, with a strong decrease in the use of healthcare facilities in pediatric and maternal groups. We observed the opposite phenomena in the use of emergency resources but the effects from the contagious disease were most obvious among UF patients.
