The Outcomes of Patients with Omicron Variant Infection who Undergo Elective Surgery: A Propensity-score-matched Case-control Study
Conclusion: Omicron infection does not significantly increase the risk of perioperative major complications. The Omicron infection may not be a sufficient risk factor to postpone elective surgery.PMID:38616997 | PMC:PMC11008485 | DOI:10.7150/ijms.90695 (Source: International Journal of Medical Sciences)
