Peri-operative SARS-CoV-2 infection increases postoperative mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal duration of planned delay before surgery in patients who have had SARS-CoV-2 infection. This international, multicentre, prospective cohort study included patients undergoing elective or emergency surgery during October 2020. Surgical patients with pre-operative SARS-CoV-2 infection were compared with those without previous SARS-CoV-2 infection. The primary outcome measure was 30-day postoperative mortality. Logistic regression models were used to calculate adjusted 30-day mortality rates stratified by time from diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection to surgery. Among 140,231 patients (116 countries), 3127 patients (2.2%) had a pre-operative SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis. Adjusted 30-day mortality in patients without SARS-CoV-2 infection was 1.5% (95%CI 1.4-1.5). In patients with a pre-operative SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis, mortality was increased in patients having surgery within 0-2 weeks, 3-4 weeks and 5-6 weeks of the diagnosis (odds ratio (95%CI) 4.1 (3.3-4.8), 3.9 (2.6-5.1) and 3.6 (2.0-5.2), respectively). Surgery performed ≥ 7 weeks after SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis was associated with a similar mortality risk to baseline (odds ratio (95%CI) 1.5 (0.9-2.1)). After a ≥ 7 week delay in undertaking surgery following SARS-CoV-2 infection, patients with ongoing symptoms had a higher mortality than patients whose symptoms had resolved or who had been asymptomatic (6.0% (95%CI 3.2-8.7) vs. 2.4% (95%CI 1.4-3.4) vs. 1.3% (95%CI 0.6-2.0), respectively). Where possible, surgery should be delayed for at least 7 weeks following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Patients with ongoing symptoms ≥ 7 weeks from diagnosis may benefit from further delay.
SARS-CoV-2 has been associated with an increased rate of venous thromboembolism in critically ill patients. Since surgical patients are already at higher risk of venous thromboembolism than general populations, this study aimed to determine if patients with peri-operative or prior SARS-CoV-2 were at further increased risk of venous thromboembolism. We conducted a planned sub-study and analysis from an international, multicentre, prospective cohort study of elective and emergency patients undergoing surgery during October 2020. Patients from all surgical specialties were included. The primary outcome measure was venous thromboembolism (pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis) within 30 days of surgery. SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis was defined as peri-operative (7 days before to 30 days after surgery); recent (1-6 weeks before surgery); previous (≥7 weeks before surgery); or none. Information on prophylaxis regimens or pre-operative anti-coagulation for baseline comorbidities was not available. Postoperative venous thromboembolism rate was 0.5% (666/123,591) in patients without SARS-CoV-2; 2.2% (50/2317) in patients with peri-operative SARS-CoV-2; 1.6% (15/953) in patients with recent SARS-CoV-2; and 1.0% (11/1148) in patients with previous SARS-CoV-2. After adjustment for confounding factors, patients with peri-operative (adjusted odds ratio 1.5 (95%CI 1.1-2.0)) and recent SARS-CoV-2 (1.9 (95%CI 1.2-3.3)) remained at higher risk of venous thromboembolism, with a borderline finding in previous SARS-CoV-2 (1.7 (95%CI 0.9-3.0)). Overall, venous thromboembolism was independently associated with 30-day mortality ). In patients with SARS-CoV-2, mortality without venous thromboembolism was 7.4% (319/4342) and with venous thromboembolism was 40.8% (31/76). Patients undergoing surgery with peri-operative or recent SARS-CoV-2 appear to be at increased risk of postoperative venous thromboembolism compared with patients with no history of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Optimal venous thromboembolism prophylaxis and treatment are unknown in this cohort of patients, and these data should be interpreted accordingly.
Resumo Objetivos A finalidade do presente artigo é avaliar os resultados clínicos, radiográficos e funcionais de pseudoartroses de escafoide com deformidade angular utilizando enxerto de ilíaco e placa volar. Métodos Foram seguidos prospectivamente 8 pacientes, todos do sexo masculino, com idade média de 39,6 anos, com pseudoartrose de cintura de escafoide, com tempo médio de 19 meses de trauma sem cirurgias prévias. Os pacientes foram tratados com enxerto retirado da crista ilíaca e placa volar para escafoide. Os pacientes foram submetidos a avaliações radiográficas e tomográficas no pré-operatório e em 1 mês, 3 meses, 6 meses e 1 ano de pós-operatório. A altura carpal e os ângulos escafossemilunares e intraescafoides foram medidos no pré-operatório e aos 3 meses e 1 ano do pós-operatório. A função foi avaliada no pré-operatório e repetida em 1 ano pós-operatório através do escores Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH, na sigla em inglês) e Patient-related Wrist Evaluation (PWRE, na sigla em inglês), assim como pela aferição de força de pinças e de amplitude de movimento do punho e do polegar. Resultados Houve consolidação em todos os casos, com tempo médio de 3,38 meses. Foram observadas duas complicações: uma infecção de ferida operatória do ilíaco e um parafuso da placa colocado no espaço escafossemilunar. Houve melhora nos parâmetros de amplitude de movimento do punho e do polegar e de força de pinça em todas as avaliações funcionais, com significância estatística do PRWE e do ângulo escafossemilunar. Conclusão Apesar da nossa amostra ter sido pequena, obtivemos consolidação em todos os casos operados, com complicações esperadas na literatura e melhoras tanto no padrão radiográfico quanto na avaliação funcional e na escala de dor dos nossos pacientes.
A tenossinovite piogênica é uma infecção da bainha do tendão flexor do dedo que pode resultar em necrose e aderência do tendão, perda de movimento, deformidade e, em último caso, acarretar perda do membro se o tratamento não for instituído rápido e adequadamente. O objetivo desse estudo é descrever o perfil epidemiológico e bacteriológico dos pacientes com o diagnóstico de tenossinovite infecciosa em um hospital terciário. Os dados foram coletados dos prontuários dos pacientes atendidos na instituição no período de janeiro de 2019 a junho de 2020 com o diagnóstico confirmado de tenossinovite infecciosa, e que tenham sido submetidos a tratamento clínico e cirúrgico. Os resultados encontrados foram: a prevalência de pacientes do sexo masculino, com média de 42 anos de idade, contaminados após ferimentos perfurocortantes. A bactéria mais encontrada foi Staphylococcus aureus e os resultados mais favoráveis foram nos pacientes que iniciaram o tratamento em menos de 72 horas do início dos sintomas. A suspeita clínica e o reconhecimento precoce do agente etiológico se mostraram fundamentais para minimizar as consequências potencialmente devastadoras do atraso no tratamento desta doença.
