About The Study: In this study of nearly 4,000 patients, increasing time from COVID-19 diagnosis to surgery was associated in a time-dependent fashion with a decreasing rate of a composite outcome of major cardiovascular events. This information should be used to better inform risk-benefit discussions concerning optimal surgical timing and perioperative outcomes for patients with a history of COVID-19 infection.
