cord-300508-po2zolo8	Inoue, Gen	Experience of an Orthopaedic Surgery Department Early During the COVID-19 Outbreak in Japan Including Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction Assay Results for SARS-CoV-2	2020-10-24		.txt	text/plain	3942	182	49	With the need to develop an approach to manage orthopaedic surgeries, we aimed to evaluate the most current data on all the surgical cases in our department including the results of the reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay for infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). We also examined the results of PT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2, which was principally performed for all the surgical candidates in our department beginning May 13, and investigated their laboratory test results before surgery, their clinical signs and symptoms, which were reported to be related with COVID-19. evaluated 66 orthopaedic healthcare workers exposed to one patient who became positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection one week after admission, and reported that the RT-PCR assays were negative for all 66 healthcare workers, although 14 (21%) manifested clinical signs/symptoms suggestive of COVID-19, including cough (6.1%), sore throat (4.5%), nasal congestion (4.5%), dyspnoea (3.0%), fever (1.5%), headache, and myalgias (1.5%) [19] .	./cache/cord-300508-po2zolo8.txt	./txt/cord-300508-po2zolo8.txt
