This is a cohort study including 283 patients who underwent breast and urological procedures in three UK centres during the peak of COVID-19. COVID-related 30-day mortality was zero, as well as COVID-related admissions. Only 12 patients developed COVID-19 symptoms, although none had a positive COVID swab. Non-emergency surgery for breast and urological conditions was safe during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, provided contemporaneous safety measures were followed.
这是一项队列研究,纳入了在英国三个中心于新冠疫情高峰期接受乳腺和泌尿外科手术的283例患者。与新冠相关的30天死亡率为零,与新冠相关的住院率也为零。仅有12例患者出现新冠症状,不过新冠病毒检测均为阴性。在新冠疫情高峰期,只要遵循同期安全措施,针对乳腺和泌尿系统疾病的非急诊手术就是安全的。
