Brief Summary
Emergency general surgical care during the COVID-19 pandemic presents a unique set of considerations and challenges. Patients presenting with acute surgical conditions and concomitant COVID-19 infection have higher risk of mortality and morbidity. The investigators present their experience with COVID-19 positive patients presenting with acute surgical conditions and reviewed the implementation of a protocolized pathway to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 infection.

Eligibility Criteria
A propsective review was performed of all patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infection who presented with acute general surgical conditions to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH), in the period of 1st April 2020 to 31st May 2020. KTPH is a 795-bed regional general hospital in Singapore that serves approximately half a million people in the northern part of the city state. A confirmed case of COVID-19 was defined by a positive result on a reverse-transcriptase-polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-PCR) assay of a specimen collected on a nasopharyngeal swab. Patients underwent testing on admission if identified as high risk as per national guidelines, or upon developing respiratory symptoms during inpatient stay.
You may qualify if:
- All patients with emergency surgical conditions and tested positive for COVID-19 infection
You may not qualify if:
- Nil
