Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to understand the impact of SARS-COV-2 disease on neurosurgeons and our profession; specifically, to trace the role of women, in particular young neurosurgeons, in addressing this health emergency.

Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated the impact of SARS-COV-2 disease on Italian neurosurgeons stratified by gender (44 [49.9%] males and 49 [52.1%] females) enrolled through a questionnaire-based online survey.

Results: Ninety-three Italian neurosurgeons were included in this study. The percentage of female participants was 52.1% (49) and 53% (50) were younger than 40 years. Men were significantly more affected than women by complications (14 versus 3), while there was no gender difference in the COVID-19 infection rate. Furthermore, the social impact of the pandemic was the same between men and women.

Conclusions: Our analysis did not show significant differences between the two genders in the susceptibility, and mortality from COVID-19. The possible and immediate implementation of anti-COVID-19 measures and devices, associated with a lower risk of transmission in the treatment of neurosurgical pathologies, has likely, moderated and disregarded the socio-psychological "gender gap" of the Covid-19 pandemic.

COVID-19 时代的性别影响：意大利神经外科的视角。

背景：本研究的目的是了解 SARS-COVID-19 疾病对神经外科医生和我们职业的影响；特别是追踪女性，尤其是年轻神经外科医生在应对这一健康紧急情况中的作用：这项横断面研究评估了 SARS-COVID-19 疾病对意大利神经外科医生的影响，研究人员按性别[44（49.9%）名男性和 49（52.1%）名女性]进行了分层，并通过在线问卷调查进行了登记：本研究共纳入 93 名意大利神经外科医生。女性参与者占 52.1%（49 人），53%（50 人）的年龄小于 40 岁。男性并发症患者明显多于女性（14 对 3），而 Covid 感染率则没有性别差异。此外，Pandemia 对男性和女性的社会影响相同：我们的分析表明，在 COVID-19 的易感性和死亡率方面，男女之间没有明显差异。在治疗神经外科病症时，抗 COVID-19 措施和设备可降低传播风险，这些措施和设备的可能和立即实施很可能缓和并消除了 Covid-19 大流行的社会心理 "性别差异"。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
