Letter to the editor regarding “The impact of COVID-19 on neurosurgical head trauma referrals and admission at a tertiary neurosurgical centre”

Abstract

We read with great interest the article published recently by Korkmaz et al. [1] “The impact of COVID-19 on neurosurgical head trauma referrals and admission at a tertiary neurosurgical centre”, where the authors estimated the incidence of head trauma in a specialized neurosurgical center at the beginning of the pandemic, observing a 57.5% reduction in admission and 48.3% reduction in referral of patients with this pathology, with respect to four previous years [1]. We thank the authors for providing us with such valuable evidence, however, we would like to make a few comments.
