Changes in adjusted postoperative mortality risk with increasing time intervals from SARS‐CoV‐2 diagnosis to surgery. Solid lines denote changes in adjusted postoperative mortality risk (y‐axis) in patients with SARS‐CoV‐2 infection with increasing time intervals from infection to surgery (x‐axis). (a) – sub‐groups defined based on whether patients had emergency surgery or elective surgery. (b) – sub‐groups defined based on whether patients had an asymptomatic infection (green line), symptomatic infection with symptoms resolved by the time of surgery (orange line) or symptomatic infection with symptoms persistent up to surgery (red line). Dotted lines denote the adjusted postoperative mortality risk in patients without any known prior SARS‐CoV‐2 infection.
