cord-297362-mhtvrn0c	Wu, Xian-rui	Practice Patterns of Colorectal Surgery During the COVID-19 Pandemic	2020-11-05		.txt	text/plain	1495	80	53	L., R.P.K.) mainly consisted of 4 domains: surgeon's expertise and setting, practice patterns of colorectal surgery, factors associated with decision making for colorectal surgery, and safety and protection concerns of patients and health care providers. Colorectal cancer was the main indication for elective or emergent colorectal surgery during the pandemic as reported by 237 (65.3%) surgeons. 10 Consistent with this reality, this study showed that the percentage of surgeons who operated on at least 7 cases per week previous to the pandemic dropped significantly after the COVID-19 pandemic began, with emergent colorectal surgeries being less likely to be affected than elective cases. 11 This fact was reflected by the results of our survey which demonstrated that most surgeons reported colorectal cancer as the main indication for colorectal surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, a high percentage of participating surgeons felt that more patients could safely have had elective surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic.	./cache/cord-297362-mhtvrn0c.txt	./txt/cord-297362-mhtvrn0c.txt
