A decrease in hospital visits including neurosurgery cases during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been reported by many countries. This study aims to reveal important data regarding the effect that the COVID-19 pandemic has on services, neurosurgical surgery, and inpatients before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This comparative study compares neurosurgical services, neurosurgical patients, outpatient visits, and monthly inpatients assessed from January to December 2020 (onset of the pandemic) with those of the same period in 2019.
The average number of outpatient visits per month during the pandemic (January to December 2020) was 369 visits per month, compared to 397 visits in the same period in the previous year. The lowest outpatient visits occurred in May 2020 with 227 outpatient visits. There was a decrease in the number of neurosurgical patients in January-December during the pandemic period compared to the same period in 2019. A significant decrease in outpatients during and before the pandemic was noted with = 0.046 ( < 0.05).
There are differences in the number of visits by outpatients, neurosurgical patients, and inpatients during the pandemic compared to the period before the onset of the pandemic.
许多国家报告称，在2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间，包括神经外科病例在内的医院就诊量有所下降。本研究旨在揭示有关COVID-19大流行对COVID-19大流行之前和期间的服务、神经外科手术和住院患者影响的重要数据。
这项比较研究将2020年1月至12月（大流行开始）评估的神经外科服务、神经外科患者、门诊就诊和月度住院患者与2019年同期的数据进行比较。
大流行期间（2020年1月至12月）每月门诊就诊的平均次数为每月369次，而上一年同期为397次。2020年5月门诊就诊次数最少，为227次。与2019年同期相比，大流行期间1月至12月神经外科患者数量有所减少。在大流行期间和之前，门诊患者数量显著减少，P = 0.046（P < 0.05）。
与大流行开始之前的时期相比，大流行期间门诊患者、神经外科患者和住院患者的就诊次数存在差异。
