Abstract
- • No significant difference in the postoperative outcomes between people infected with Omicron and those who are not. • Perioperative Omicron infection not associated with postoperative complications. • Necessary to enhance protection of patients from postoperative Omicron infection. To explore the effects of perioperative SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infection on postoperative complications in patients with liver cancer. A propensity-matched study was conducted, which included patients with primary liver cancer who underwent hepatectomy from September 01, 2022 to January 20, 2023. Patients who infected SARS-CoV-2 Omicron during the perioperative period (7 days before to 30 days after surgery) were matched 1:1 with noninfected patients. The primary outcomes, which were COVID-19-related major complications and liver resection-specific complications, were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression. A total of 243 patients were included, with 63 cases of perioperative infections, of which 62 were postoperative infections. The overall 30-day postoperative mortality rate was 1.6% (4/243). Compared to noninfected patients, those with perioperative infections showed no significant difference in the occurrence of adverse postoperative outcomes. However, they had a higher rate of 30-day readmission after surgery (11.1% vs 0%, P = 0.013). Perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infection was not associated with "major cardiorespiratory complications" or "liver resection-specific complications", but age, pre-existing comorbidities, and tumor type were related to these outcomes. Perioperative SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infection did not increase the incidence of postoperative complications in patients with liver cancer. However, those patients had a higher rate of 30-day readmission after surgery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
