The COVID-19 pandemic has posed a significant challenge to surgical practice. This study aims to investigate the structure of hospitalizations, treatment outcomes, and surgical tactics in patients with COVID-19 and competing different acute surgical diseases (ASD). The research is based on real-world data (RWD) from a large multidisciplinary hospital repurposed as a COVID-19 center. The study analyze the mutual impact of these two acute conditions on patient outcomes, develop prognostic models for in-hospital mortality, and evaluate changes in surgical approaches during the pandemic.
Inclusion Criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
This cohort includes hospitalizations at the Moscow Multidisciplinary Clinical Center "Kommunarka" from March 1, 2020, to March 1, 2022, in which one or more acute surgical conditions were identified from routine clinical records. The cohort includes hospitalizations with confirmed COVID-19 and hospitalizations without confirmed or probable COVID-19, allowing within-period comparisons by COVID-19 status. No intervention was assigned by the study. Surgical, interventional, or conservative treatment was provided according to routine clinical practice. The cohort was used to assess the structure of acute surgical conditions, in-hospital and postoperative mortality, surgical activity, treatment strategies, and factors associated with adverse outcomes.
This cohort includes emergency hospitalizations at the Moscow Multidisciplinary Clinical Center "Kommunarka" from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2024, in which one or more acute surgical conditions were identified from routine clinical records. Elective hospitalizations were excluded from the analytical cohort. No intervention was assigned by the study. Surgical, interventional, or conservative treatment was provided according to routine clinical practice. The cohort was used to assess the structure of hospitalizations, in-hospital and postoperative mortality, and surgical activity, and to compare these outcomes with the corresponding pandemic-period cohort using broad and more specific RWD-based cohort definitions.
