Abbreviations: COVID-19, coronavirus disease 2019; DME, durable medical equipment; Post-op, postoperative.The relationship strength of the variables was determined via Pearson correlation coefficient and the statistical significance was determined using Student's t test. Positive correlation coefficient indicates association with high COVID-19 prevalence. Only significant variables (p value ≤ .05) were reported.

Question was asked using a 10-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest).
