To assure the proper protection without overuse of limited supply of these equipments, screening of patients before surgical or diagnostic procedure was implemented. This study evaluates the results of this screening.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>All patients screened for COVID\u201019 before procedure warranting either general, locoregional anaesthesia or sedation were included. Screening included a symptom questionnaire by phone, PCR and HRCT chest testing. Surgical or procedural details were registered together with actions taken based on screening results.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Three hundred ninety\u2010eight screenings were performed on 386 patients. The symptom questionnaire was completed in 72% of screenings. In 371 screenings, PCR testing was performed and negative. HRCT chest found 18 cases where COVID\u201019 could not be excluded, with negative PCR testing. Three patients had their surgery postponed due to inconclusive screening, and additional measures were taken in three other patients. There were incidental findings in 14% of HRCT chest scans.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Pre\u2010operative screening will differentiate if PPE is needed for procedures and which patients can safely have elective surgery during this COVID\u201019 pandemic and in the times to come. HRCT chest has no additional value in the pre\u2010operative screening of asymptomatic patients. Screening can be performed with a symptom questionnaire, and additional screening with PCR testing in high\u2010risk patient groups should be considered.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-020-05722-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,13]],"date-time":"2020-08-13T19:02:41Z","timestamp":1597345361000},"page":"3199-3206","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["What is the Preferred Screening Tool for COVID\u201019\u00a0in Asymptomatic Patients Undergoing a Surgical or Diagnostic Procedure?"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"E.
