Public Interest in Knee Replacement Fell During the Onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Google Trends Analysis	2020-09-15		.txt	text/plain	2881	152	56	authors: Landy, David C.; Chalmers, Brian P.; Utset-Ward, Thomas J.; Ast, Michael P. CONCLUSION: Public interest in knee replacement, assessed through internet search queries, decreased during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. A recent patient survey found demand for knee replacement could be high when elective surgery resumes, though historical data suggests this could be tempered by other factors [10, 18] . This study sought to characterize public interest in knee replacement at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic by utilizing search engine query data. Our findings are consistent, with both studies reporting a sharp decline in internet searches for "knee replacement" in March 2020, during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the USA. While prior studies have utilized search engine query data to quantify and track public interest, internet searches may not accurately reflect the interests of specific subgroups such as patients considering knee replacement.	./cache/cord-331230-mp7sdh73.txt	./txt/cord-331230-mp7sdh73.txt
