BACKGROUND
Describe the indications for surgical interventions in asymptomatic patients with SARS-CoV-2. We are unaware of previous reports of an association between SARS-CoV-2 and acute appendicitis.
METHODS
We performed a single institution retrospective review of SARS-CoV-2 pre-procedure testing and indications for surgical intervention. Statistical comparisons were performed using Chi Square analysis or two-tailed Student T test.
RESULTS
We report a high prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in both all testing and pre-procedure testing during the enrollment period. We observe a high prevalence of acute appendicitis among patients identified to be SARS-CoV-2 positive during pre-procedure testing and without recognized symptoms of COVID19.
CONCLUSION
We report a previously unrecognized association between SARS-CoV-2 and acute appendicitis.
背景
描述 SARS-CoV-2 无症状患者手术干预的适应证。我们之前没有报告过 SARS-CoV-2 与急性阑尾炎之间存在关联。
方法
我们对 SARS-CoV-2 术前检测和手术干预指征进行了单中心回顾性研究。使用卡方分析或双尾学生 t 检验进行统计学比较。
结果
我们报告了在研究期间，所有检测和术前检测中 SARS-CoV-2 的高检出率。我们观察到，在术前检测中被确定为 SARS-CoV-2 阳性且没有 COVID19 症状的患者中，急性阑尾炎的发病率很高。
结论
我们报告了 SARS-CoV-2 与急性阑尾炎之间以前未被认识到的关联。
