Abstract
These data show large reductions in both elective and emergency activity that are concerning for unmeasured morbidity and mortality within the community. The risk of mortality following high-risk EGS and major elective surgery during the first wave of the pandemic did not differ when compared with date-matched patient cohorts from 2019. The prevalence of concomitant SARS-CoV-2 infection in this surgical population is low.
