“…Increased susceptibility to severe COVID-19 has been noted in certain populations (e.g., individuals over age 60). 2 Advanced age patients are at increased risk of COVID-19 morbidity and mortality, and represent a potential for nosocomial transmission to healthcare providers. 3 Figure 1 Geospatial distribution of cumulative COVID-19 cases and plastic surgeons age ≥ 60 in the United States.…”

“…In mid-March 2020, hospitals across the United States temporarily suspended all elective procedures to mitigate risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission and to preserve resources to meet clinical demand and ensure workforce preservation (eg, surge planning, employee testing). 1,2 Although deemed "elective" in that they are nonemergent, elective procedures are essential for patient health and solvency of the nation's healthcare system. 3 As elective procedures resume, the downstream consequences of their initial delay are becoming apparent.…”
“…1 Regarding dermatologic care, skin exams limit dermatologists' ability to maintain physical distance from patients, and head/neck procedures often require that patients remove masks, thus placing dermatologists at increased risk of COVID-19 infection. Given the association between older age and COVID-19 severity, [3][4][5][6] our objective was to compare the geographic distribution of dermatologists ≥60 years of age to the cumulative distribution of COVID-19 cases to inform safety guidelines and workforce planning.…”
States were grouped into color-coordinated quintiles based on relative proportion of older dermatologists, and cumulative COVID-19 case volumes were adjusted using a logarithmic scale to create proportionally-sized data points LETTER 3 of 3
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
