Topic overview
Preoperative COVID-19 testing protocols were widely implemented for children requiring surgery, leading to increased resource consumption and many delayed or canceled operations or procedures. This study using multi-center data investigated the relationship between preoperative risk factors, COVID-positivity, and postoperative outcomes among children undergoing common urgent and emergent procedures.
