Clinical characteristics and factors associated with in-hospital post-surgical mortality in COVID-19 patients at a tertiary care center in Karachi, Pakistan
The risk of post-operative in-hospital mortality was found to be lower in COVID-19 patients who underwent emergency surgical procedures compared with elective surgical procedures. These findings may be due to longer hospitalization in patients who underwent emergency surgical procedures. Larger multicenter studies are needed for a more comprehensive analysis.
