Abstract

Objetivo: Comparar os desfechos de pacientes submetidos a cirurgias gastrointestinais convencionais que desenvolveram coronavirus disease (COVID-19) com aqueles que não estavam contaminados. Método: Estudo comparativo descritivo. Foram coletados dados de 142 prontuários desde março de 2020 (início da pandemia no Brasil) até dezembro de 2021. Estudo aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa (CAAE: 29473520.2.0000.5392). Resultados: O perfil dos pacientes foi, em sua grande maioria, classificação ASA 2 e 3 e presença de ao menos uma doença crônica em todos os pacientes com COVID-19 e na maioria daqueles sem COVID-19. O índice de massa corpórea (IMC) médio para os pacientes com COVID-19 foi obesidade tipo I e sobrepeso para o restante da amostra (p=0,043). Houve predominância do sexo feminino entre os pacientes acometidos por COVID-19. As complicações foram maior tempo de internação pós-operatória (p=0,015) e necessidade de reabordagem cirúrgica (p=0,034). Conclusão: O perfil dos pacientes cirúrgicos com COVID-19 esteve atrelado à presença de comorbidades, maior duração do procedimento cirúrgico e IMC elevado. As complicações associadas à presença de COVID-19 foram maior tempo de internação pós-operatória e necessidade de reabordagem cirúrgica.
