Publications
The CovidSurg Collaborative is working to deliver results from CovidSurg Cohort study, CovidSurg Cancer study and CovidSurg Modelling studies in order to guide clinical practice. We will update this webpage with the upcoming published papers.

Global guidance for surgical care during the COVID-19 pandemic
The CovidSurg Collaborative has already published a Global Guidance for Surgical care during the COVID-19 pandemic, which is available FREE access here: full manuscript. (BJS; doi.org/10.1002/bjs.11646)
CovidSurg Webinars
We have a portfolio of studies including a cohort study that has recruited more than 10 000 patients to date. We shared the results from the first 1100 patients during our first webinar, now available on Youtube, Spotify, and ZOOM on-demand service.
A set of lectures are being designed to efficiently release the main findings of our studies to our collaborators and the surgical community, aiming to inform decision making as the study evolves.
