Software and Algorithms Sentences Resources All queried programs but one were centralized within 30 miles of Central Park in Manhattan, verified by Google Maps with hyperlink: https://www.google.com/maps (Google Inc., Mountain View, CA, USA) for distance calculations which used mailing addresses from primary affiliations for each recipient of the survey. Google Mapssuggested: NoneResults from OddPub: We did not detect open data. We also did not detect open code. Researchers are encouraged to share open data when possible (see Nature blog).
Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:We recognize limitations to our current study. While not all presumed and suspected cases have COVID-19, we present these numbers given the high pre-test probability of infection in HCW with suggestive symptoms, as well as known limitations of RT-PCR detection of the virus.15,16 Future work using serological testing may provide a more accurate census of confirmed positives, as recent studies have shown.18 Selection bias may have affected our findings, as fields such as ophthalmology may have been over-represented due to the authors’ connections to colleagues in this field, while other specialties may have been under-represented because of significant stress and lack of time to complete the survey. It is also possible that program directors whose residents have been affected by COVID-19 would be more likely to respond. However, we capture 91 NYC residency programs (out of an estimated 340 total residency programs) during a period of exponential pandemic growth, offering a unique perspective on the impact on resident physicians during what may be the height of COVID-19 in NYC. Indeed, capturing the experience as it happens avoids recall bias after the fact. It is our hope that this insight may allow locations not yet as substantially affected by COVID-19 to better anticipate the needs of resident physicians, who are truly at the front lines of an unprecedented challenge.
