Abstract:included 3973 patients (52 countries; 7 world regions; 27% from low-and-middle-income countries).Lower-than-reported rate (22/3778; 0.6%) of perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infections was observed. This group had higher morbidity (63.6% vs 19.1%; p<0.0001) and mortality (18.2% vs 0.7%; p<0.0001) rates, compared to the uninfected cohort.In 20.7% (823/3973), standard of care was adjusted. Significant delay (>8 weeks) was observed in 11.2% (424/3784), particularly in those with ovarian cancer (213/1355; 15.7%). This del… Show more
