Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Data collection in the form of a questionnaire designed in English and filled up by the research interviewer is created to document patient demography, surgical details and level of depression/ anxiety prior to surgery.
The primary objective of this study is to find incidence of elective surgeries has postponed during COVID-19 pandemic in geriatric population. This overarching aim raises two secondary objectives of the research:
1. To find the incidents of cancer surgeries postponed during COVID-19 pandemic in geriatric population.
2. To find the physical and psychological impact of postponed elective surgery in geriatric population during COVID-19 pandemic.
Random convenience sampling will be conducted. Data will be collected using REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) system and analyzed using SPSS software. Results will be presented as mean ± standard deviation, median or frequency (percentages) as appropriate. Mann-Whitney U test will be used for non-normally distributed data while t test will be used for normally distributed data. The qualitative data analysis will be performed using chi-square test or Fisher's exact test if insufficient numbers are present. A p value \< 0.05 will be considered statistically significant.
