BACKGROUND: No studies to date have focused on the timing of pulmonary resection in patients with previous severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. In the present study, the authors analyzed the surgical outcomes and evaluated the optimal time point of pulmonary resection surgery following SARS-CoV-2 infection.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this multicenter retrospective cohort study, patients were divided into different groups according to the time interval between SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis and pulmonary resection. The primary outcome measure was postoperative complications within 30 days after surgery, which was investigated to determine the optimal time point of pulmonary resection. Logistic regression models were used to calculate the risk factors for postoperative complications.

RESULTS: In total, 400 patients were enrolled, and the postoperative pathologic examination of 322 (80.5%) patients showed lung cancer. As the interval between SARS-CoV-2 infection and pulmonary resection increased, the incidence of complications gradually decreased in each group. The incidence of grade ≥II complications was higher in the ≤2-week and 2-week to 4-week groups than in the 4-week to 6-week, 6-week to 8-week and >8-week groups [3 (21.4%), 17 (20.2%), 10 (10.6%), 13 (7.9%), and 3 (6.5%), respectively] ( P <0.05). Multiclassification regression analysis showed that the risk of grade ≥II complications in the ≤2-week and 2-week to 4-week groups was significantly higher than that in the >8-week group [odds ratio (95% CI), 3.937 (1.072-14.459), P =0.039 and 3.069 (1.232-6.863), P =0.015]. The logistic regression analysis suggested that underlying disease, persistent SARS-CoV-2 symptoms, and surgical timing (≤4 weeks) were independent risk factors for complications of pulmonary resection after SARS-CoV-2 infection.

CONCLUSION: Pulmonary resection should be delayed for at least 4 weeks following SARS-CoV-2 infection to reduce the risk of postoperative complications.
