abstract: 'Background During the COVID-19 pandemic the utilization of health
services has changed. People were living in a very different social,
economic and epidemiological context. Unmet health care is expected to
happen. The purposes of this work are i) to compare the differences
between unmet care across countries, ii) to find the main factors which
are associated with unmet health care, which includes giving up and
postponing medical care, as well as denial of medical care provision by
the health services, and iii) to determine if health systems''
characteristics and government decisions on lockdown were related to
unmet care. Methods We have used the most recent dataset collected by
the SHARE-COVID Survey during the summer of 2020. These data cover all
EU countries and are applied to people over 50. We have estimated a set
of logistic regressions to explain unmet health care. Results The
results indicate that women, people who are slightly younger, with
higher education and income, who find it hard to make ends meet each
month, and people with poorer health were more likely to experience
unmet health care. We also found that in health systems with high
out-of-pocket payments people are more likely to give up health care
while in countries with previous high levels of unmet health needs this
likelihood was the opposite; people in countries with a high number of
beds per capita and with a Beveridge-type health system were reporting
less postponement of health care. Conclusion Some policy measures may be
suggested such as social and economic measures to mitigate loss of
income, expansion of the points and forms of access to health care to
improve utilisation.'
