Aim: Emergency surgery can be defined as surgical interventions and operations necessary to deal with an acute threat to life, organ, limb, or tissue. Our study examined the impact of the Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on emergency surgical operations (ESOs) performed in state hospitals in Turkey. Materials and Methods: In this national, retrospective, and descriptive study, ESOs performed in 2nd and 3rd-level state hospitals in Turkey in 2021 were recorded for the study. ESOs performed in 2019 were taken as the control group, and the changes between the two groups were examined. Results: A total of 1,822,075 ESOs were included in the analysis. There was a 7.6% decrease in ESOs in 2021 compared to 2019. In both 2019 and 2021, cesarean section, surgical treatment of upper/lower extremity fractures and dislocations, and cholecystectomy were the most frequently performed ESOs. An increase in the number of ESOs in 2021 compared to 2019 was observed only in the urology department (7.1%) and orthopedics and traumatology department (2.7%). The surgical departments with the greatest decreases were neurosurgery (-28.1%), Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (-27.7%), and thoracic surgery (-20.9%) Conclusion: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of ESOs performed in the 2nd and 3rd-level state hospitals in Turkey decreased compared with the previous year.

Aim: To validate the ability of National Early Waring Score 2 (NEWS2) for predicting the severity of Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). In addition, we also intend to examine the impact of pre-existing comorbidities to produce an advanced COVID-19 disease.Materials and Methods: A multicenter prospective cohort was performed on 108 patients having moderate-intensity COVID-19 infection during October 2020 and November 2021. NEWS2 parameters were recorded on admission to generate an output score, which then classified in accordance with the NEWS2 reference scale into low, medium, and high-risk categories. Each patient was followed till discharge or death for the clinical progression of COVID-19. The measures of validity and area under the curve (AUC) for NEWS2 threshold scores were calculated to predict the clinical deterioration of COVID-19.Results: Overall, 29.6% patients developed an advanced disease, out of which 21.8% patients died during treatment. NEWS2 score of 6 or more showed the highest sensitivity (78.1%), specificity (94.8%), and the AUC (0.838) for predicting an adverse outcome. Among comorbidities, the majority showed an increased risk of clinical deterioration.Conclusion: NEWS2 score of 6 or more at baseline showed good predictive ability to stratify patients with poor outcomes who may later require escalated care. However, we recommend more research to confirm our findings.
