Contact of each patient with COVID\u201019, stress and anxiety, perceived pain, and function were obtained in the interviews, and also the preference of each patient to have re\u2010scheduled surgery (early or late). Finally, we registered their response (acceptance or refusal) when surgery was effectively re\u2010scheduled.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>88 out of 156 patients waiting for knee replacement (76\/143 of those waiting for TKR, 12\/13 of those waiting for RKR) declared themselves ready for surgery in less than 1\u00a0month. When re\u2010scheduled, 115 patients underwent surgery and 41 refused. Significantly different preferences were found for age (more prone to surgery if under 65), revision surgery (more readily available), pain (7.9\u2009\u00b1\u20091.7\/10\u00a0in NRS in those undergoing surgery, 5.6\u2009\u00b1\u20092.3\/10\u00a0in those refusing, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.000), or COVID\u201019 diagnosis, but not other close contact with COVID\u201019, comorbidities, stress, or anxiety. A logistic regression model confirmed that revision surgery (OR 9.33), perceived severe pain (OR 5.21), and age under 65 years (OR 5.82) were significantly associated with patient preference. The probability of patients over 65 to prefer early surgery reached 60% only with pain at or above 9\/10.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Surgical timing preferences for knee replacement vary between patients older than 65 years (immediate surgery only when pain is intense) and younger patients (immediate surgery no matter the amount of pain). Even if COVID\u201019 severely stroke our population, the need for knee replacement stood in the young population and even in the aged population at risk for COVID when pain was important.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-021-06611-x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,20]],"date-time":"2021-05-20T07:20:11Z","timestamp":1621495211000},"page":"2723-2730","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Both younger and elderly patients in pain are willing to undergo knee replacement despite the COVID\u201019 pandemic: a study on surgical waiting lists"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1065-6137","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Enrique","family":"G\u00f3mez\u2010Barrena","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology Department, Knee Unit, Hospital La Paz Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid P\u00ba Castellana 261 28046 Madrid Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Israel","family":"Rubio\u2010Saez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology Department, Knee Unit, Hospital La Paz Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid P\u00ba Castellana 261 28046 Madrid Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Norma G.","family":"Padilla\u2010Eguiluz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology Department, Knee Unit, Hospital La Paz Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid P\u00ba Castellana 261 28046 Madrid Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pablo","family":"Hernandez\u2010Esteban","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology Department, Knee Unit, Hospital La Paz Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid P\u00ba Castellana 261 28046 Madrid Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471\u20102474\u201012\u2010108"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1479\u2010666X(07)80022\u20109"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph8083287"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1503\/cmaj.109\u20104445"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_2","unstructured":"BorobiaAM CarcasAJ ArnalichF \u00c1lvarez\u2010SalaR Monserrat\u2010VillatoroJ QuintanaMet al.
