These data show large reductions in both elective and emergency activity that are concerning for unmeasured morbidity and mortality within the community. The risk of mortality following high-risk EGS and major elective surgery during the first wave of the pandemic did not differ when compared with date-matched patient cohorts from 2019. The prevalence of concomitant SARS-CoV-2 infection in this surgical population is low.
这些数据显示,择期和急诊手术量均大幅减少,这令人担忧社区内未得到衡量的发病率和死亡率。在疫情第一波期间,高危食管胃十二指肠镜检查(EGS)和大型择期手术后的死亡风险与2019年按日期匹配的患者队列相比并无差异。该手术人群中合并感染严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)的比例较低。
