Impact of the SARS-Co-2 pandemic on “time-to-diagnosis” and “time-to-intervention” in surgical emergency patients. Participants, whose hospitals were not involved in COVID-19 patient care, are depicted in grey. a Has there been a delay in the time from entering the hospital (e.g. with an intestinal perforation) to the diagnosis (“time-to-diagnosis”)? If the participants reported a delay, they were also asked to estimate the delay, e.g. from entering the hospital until the timepoint of computer tomography. b Has there been a delay in the time-from-diagnosis (e.g. of an intestinal perforation in the CT-scan) to the beginning of surgical intervention (“time-to-intervention”)? If the participants reported a delay, they were also asked to estimate the delay from diagnosis to surgical intervention
