Abstract

Background: More and more often, patients use online resources to increase their knowledge/confidence in conventional medicine. Thus, the evaluation of the internet search trends may offer an insight into patients' perception of the healthcare system during the pandemic, especially for medical specialties with invasive interventions such as pediatric neurosurgery.

Methods: A total of 140 keywords representing a wide range of pediatric neurosurgery related symptoms/signs, diseases, and treatments were defined. Google Trends tool was queried for the predefined keywords within the United States from January 01, 2016, to November 17, 2020. Two periods in 2020, March 15to July 4and July 5to October 31, were compared with similar periods over the preceding four years (2016-2019). We performed analyses in three sections: symptoms/signs, diseases, and treatments.

Results: Public interest has shifted from regular pediatric neurosurgery related symptoms/signs, diseases, and treatments to the ones related with neurological aspects of COVID-19 both in initial and short-term stages of the pandemic.

Conclusions: Google Trends highlights that the link between neurosurgeon/pediatric patients/caregivers needs to be further empowered by growing educational efforts.

COVID-19对儿童神经外科相关症状、疾病和治疗兴趣的影响

背景:越来越多的患者使用在线资源来增加他们对传统医学的知识/信心。因此，对互联网搜索趋势的评估可以深入了解大流行期间患者对医疗保健系统的看法，特别是对于具有侵入性干预的医学专业，如儿科神经外科。方法:共定义了140个关键词，代表了广泛的儿童神经外科相关症状/体征、疾病和治疗方法。在谷歌Trends工具中查询2016年1月1日至2020年11月17日期间美国境内的预定义关键字。2020年的两个时期，即3月15日至7月4日和7月5日至10月31日，与此前四年(2016-2019年)的类似时期进行了比较。我们分三个部分进行分析:症状/体征、疾病和治疗。结果:公众的兴趣已经从常规的儿童神经外科相关症状/体征、疾病和治疗转向与COVID-19大流行初期和短期阶段的神经方面相关的症状/体征、疾病和治疗。结论:谷歌趋势强调，神经外科医生/儿科患者/护理人员之间的联系需要通过不断增长的教育努力进一步加强。

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.
