@pavcolorectal65 @SWexner @SurgJournal @chrisaquinamd @apl2018 @FergaljFleming @URochesterSurg Left digit bias is the disproportionate influence of the leftmost age digit, in this case. For example, a patient who is 78 or 79 years old is treated differently than someone who is 80, 81 or 82 years old.

[Alexa Melucci, MD, MS @AlexaMelucci]

We all have unconscious biases that need to be recognized and considered when treating patients. Read our latest work on left-digit bias (disproportionate influence of leftmost age digit) & the treatment of older patients with rectal cancer. @apl2018 @FergaljFleming @apl2018
