Impact On Clinical Practice Of The Preoperative Screening Of Covid-19 Infection In Surgical Oncological Patients. Prospective Cohort Study 2020-08-11 .txt text/plain 1850 131 52 The aim of this study was to describe the impact on clinical practice of sequential preoperative screening for COVID-19-infection in deciding whether to proceed or postpone surgery. Sequential preoperative screening for COVID-19-infection: two-time medical history (telematic and face-to-face), PCR and chest CT, 48 hours before of surgical intervention. Conclusion preoperative screening for COVID-19-infection using medical history and PCR helped the surgeon to decide whether to go ahead or postpone surgery in oncological patients. Three preoperative screening tests have been proposed: a detailed history, a COVID-19 PCR determination and a chest radiological imaging (CT or Xray), despite not having any control studies available [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] . Therefore, our working hypothesis is that sequential preoperative screening: clinical (detailed history), PCR and radiology (chest CT) of COVID-19 infection and pneumonia will identify symptomatic and asymptomatic infected patients. ./cache/cord-254506-cxdklz4u.txt ./txt/cord-254506-cxdklz4u.txt
