cord-283500-mp2f102i	Mathiesen, T.	A snapshot of European neurosurgery December 2019 vs. March 2020: just before and during the Covid-19 pandemic	2020-07-08		.txt	text/plain	7140	323	48	We have undertaken a questionnaire survey of 25 neurosurgical departments in Europe to identify differences and similarities of resources, caseload, and indications during 1 week of presumed regular practice in December 2019 compared with a week in March 2020, when practice was expected to be heavily influenced by the pandemic. March 2020 (Table 1) All centers reported comparable surgical activity/million inhabitants before the pandemic (December 2019): median 2.0 subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients in the ICU (75th percentile 2-8), median 2.5 SAH patients in the ICU (75th percentile 1-6), and median 5.0 elective craniotomies for brain tumors/week (75th percentile 1-6). Nineteen centers reported that all patients with legitimate medical needs could not expect to have those needs met during the Covid-19 pandemic in the March 2020 week, and several centers gave examples of patients with neurosurgical emergencies that would not be treated.	./cache/cord-283500-mp2f102i.txt	./txt/cord-283500-mp2f102i.txt
