• Research summary

  The impact of COVID-19 pandemic on outcomes after surgery remains to be determined. Whether case mix and clinical outcomes differ from those achieved during normal operating conditions is unknown. Moreover, individualised risk estimation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery accounting for COVID-19 exposure is to be determined.
  Therefore, there is an urgent need to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on outcomes following cardiac surgery to guide current and future clinical decision making.
