Consequently, accuracy and quality care cardiovascular patients was partially compromised. Moreover, fear get hospital made stay home despite the presence symptoms that would have led them search medical aid in scenarios. Aim We aimed demonstrate non COVID myocardial infarction admissions after were more complex term coding length (LOS) compared those previous pandemic situation. Methods analyzed complexity weight (CW) parameters (according current Spanish Coding manual CIE-10)obtained local healthcare authorities 903 Balearic Islands Region January 2019 December 2021. Admissions with higher value considered complex. performed an interrupted time series using pre as a control group. Results 2020 showed lower number (268/mean CW: 0,651), specially form March June (347/mean 0,631) 2021 (288/ mean 0,627). CW values LOS, trend comparison are figures. Conclusions Number reduced 2020. Complexity mildly increase No significant variations LOS where found. Further analysis data regions be useful confirm whole country.
