Key result
Study assesses COVID-19 impact on postoperative morbidity and mortality versus uninfected surgical patients.
Why the study?
Does COVID-19 infection increase postoperative in-hospital morbidity and mortality in surgical patients?
Does COVID-19 infection increase postoperative in-hospital morbidity and mortality in surgical patients?
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Should not yet change perioperative risk stratification; leaves open whether COVID-19 independently drives morbidity in vaccinated or recent-variant cohorts.
This cohort study uses the Vizient Clinical Data Base to compare the postoperative in-hospital morbidity and mortality of surgical patients with COVID-19 infection with patients without COVID-19 infection.
