Two separate cohorts of adult emergency general surgery inpatient admissions immediately before and during the COVID-19 pandemic at a large University hospital in the North of England providing specialist services to a population of over 450,000 people) were included in this study. The main outcomes for this observational study were aetiology and severity of surgical disease at presentation, initial management strategies instigated, length of stay in hospital and intensive care, unplanned readmission to hospital or intensive care, postoperative complications (defined by the Clavien-Dindo Classification [25] ), and all-cause patient mortality within 30 days of admission and operative 30-day mortality. To our knowledge, this study is the first to describe the impact of 'lockdown' on emergency general surgical admissions in the UK during the COVID-19 pandemic.	./cache/cord-347697-uz0i6wfp.txt	./txt/cord-347697-uz0i6wfp.txt
