SURgical Outcomes in COvid Patients - the SUROCO Multicenter Cohort Study (COVID-19)

Summary

Overall mortality of COVID-19 is variable and has been reported to be between less than 1% and 7%. Many authors around the world also reported data on hospitalization rate, need for intensive care unit (ICU) care and need for mechanical ventilation in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients. To provide anesthetic and surgical care to SARS-CoV-2 infected patients, many health workers have to organize surgical platforms, personal protections and in-hospital trajectories to prevent dissemination and cross-contamination. However, no data has been published on the surgical need of these patients, their postoperative outcomes and the impact they may have on the operating room.

Postoperative outcomes in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients seem to be variable. Expected benefits from a surgical procedure may be different in this population if their postoperative mortality is higher than expected. The association between preoperative characteristics and postoperative outcomes in this population has to be better defined.

There is a need to better quantify these and better inform use of surgical resources during a pandemic. To address this knowledge gap, the investigators propose to conduct a multicenter observational cohort study in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients undergoing a surgical procedure, as well as in those who have recovered from COVID-19.
