Figure 1: Combination graphic to communicate trends in data over 12-week audit period: 1) The bar chart forming the background shows sequential opening of centres across the UK as the audit period progressed, 2) The box and whisker plots show the median, range and interquartile range of tonsillitis and quinsy patients presenting per centre per week for each of the three 4-week audit periods, 3) The scatter plot and error bars are COVID-19 swab rates (%) (diamonds) and positive swab rates (%) (crosses) with 95% confidence intervals, 4) The grey line chart is the 7-day rolling average of UK cases from 1st March to 31st July (available at:https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/cases).
Figure 2: Sankey chart visualising proportions of patients being admitted or discharged from the ED, with rates of subsequent re-presentation, stratified by A) IV steroid use for tonsillitis patients and B) drainage for PTA patients.
