MMP-9 has recently become a key and seemingly distinct contributor to brain physiology and pathology.

Pooled effect estimates were calculated using random-effects meta-analysis. Odds ratios (ORs) were used for dichotomous outcomes and weighted mean differences (WMDs) for continuous outcomes. Heterogeneity was assessed using I² statistic.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Twenty studies were included. In the primary pre-pandemic comparison, mortality was significantly higher during the COVID-19 era across 18 studies including 35,639 patients (OR = 1.49, 95%CI 1.20-1.85; I² = 44.7%). Postoperative complications were also increased across 13 studies including 12,174 patients (OR = 1.44, 95%CI 1.04-1.98; I² = 78.5%). No significant difference was observed for requirement of mechanical ventilation (OR = 1.20, 95%CI 0.81-1.76; I² = 0.0%), whereas length-of-stay findings were inconclusive because of high heterogeneity (WMD = -1.46 days, 95%CI -3.19 to 0.28; I² = 85.8%).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Neurosurgical patients managed during the COVID-19 era had higher mortality and postoperative complication rates than those treated before the pandemic. These findings highlight the vulnerability of neurosurgical care systems to large-scale health-system disruption and underscore the need for resilient strategies to ensure timely and safer neurosurgical care during future disruptions.</p><p><strong>Clinical trial registration: </strong>Not applicable.</p>","PeriodicalId":7042,"journal":{"name":"Acta neurologica Belgica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148676675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
