Limitations and Caveats

One of the limitations of this study is the fact that data were only collected during the summer months. It is possible that these data would differ if collected throughout the school year. Additionally, the surveys were collected from patients undergoing prescheduled surgical procedures. Due to the rapid nature of urgent or emergent cases, inclusion of these patients in the study cohort was not deemed feasible.
