According to a study published online December 16 in Open JAMA Network.
Kieran L. Quinn, MD, Ph.D., of the University of Toronto, and colleagues conducted a population-based cohort study involving adults with a polymerase chain reaction test for SARS-CoV-2 within six months prior to elective major non-cardiac surgery. Data were included for 71,144 patients who underwent elective major non-cardiac surgery (middle age66 years), of which 960 (1.3%) had already been infected with SARS-CoV-2.
The researchers found no association between prior infection and the composite risk of death, major adverse cardiovascular events and rehospitalization within 30 days of elective major non-cardiac surgery. When the time from infection to surgery was less than four weeks or less than seven weeks, and among those who had previously been vaccinated, no association was observed between prior SARS-CoV-2 infection and the postoperative results.
“These findings may have direct applications to planning and utilization of healthcare resources as jurisdictions emerge from the pandemic and resolve massive backlogs of elective surgeries,” the authors write.
