Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted routine hospital services, causing a substantial backlog of surgeries in 2020. This study investigates hospital resilience in resuming activities during the pandemic, focusing on the impact of pre-pandemic adoption of enhanced recovery after surgery protocols (ERAS) in digestive cancer surgery. ERAS involves patient-centered care protocols proven to improve care process and outcomes but are not systematically implemented in hospitals. We define hospital resilience as the ability to maintain and resume surgery levels in the second half of 2020 during the pandemic. Using French national hospital data for digestive cancer surgeries, we categorized hospitals by the intensity of their ERAS volume before the pandemic and estimated a multilevel model allowing to control for hospital characteristics and pandemic conditions in the area they are situated.
