Background

There remains a paucity of clinical studies on the effects of coronavirus on perioperative outcomes, with no existing trials reporting on risk factors associated with increased risk of postoperative mortality in these patients. The objectives of this study were to assess perioperative complications and identify risk factors for increased mortality in patients with coronavirus undergoing surgery.

Methods

This multicentre cohort study included 340 coronavirus negative patients versus 82 coronavirus positive patients undergoing surgical treatment for neck of femur fractures across nine NHS hospitals within Greater London, United Kingdom. Predefined study outcomes relating to patient demographics, fracture configuration, operative treatment, perioperative complications and mortality were recorded by observers using a standardised data collection proforma. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to identify risk factors associated with increased risk of mortality.
