Otolaryngology burden of disease and surgical case triage in resource-limited settings: An example from Cameroon.

Objectives: Otolaryngology services worldwide faced an unprecedented demand for case triage during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. We propose and apply a novel case-leveling schema in a resource-limited setting. Describing the surgical burden of otolaryngologic disease in this setting may critically inform resource planning to address global surgical disparities.
