Brief summary

The investigators retrospectively evaluated all the patients operated in a high-risk community hospital from the first Italian case of Covid-19 (February 21st) to the April 10th (in order to have at least a 30-days follow-up). The investigators selected those patients who had a preoperative or post-operative positive Real Time - Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) for SARS-CoV-2 and the clinical outcome of the participants was evaluated in term of need of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) post-operative recovery, medical and surgical complications, length of hospital stay and death.
