A matched control group (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 166) was formed by choosing patients with no history of COVID-19 who underwent similar surgical procedures under a similar technique of anesthesia. Their medical records were analyzed for the development of postoperative pulmonary and nonpulmonary complications and 30-day mortality.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Statistical Analysis Used:<\/jats:title>\n \n Independent samples\n t<\/jats:italic>\n -test and Chi-squared test were used for statistical analysis.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n The mean age of patients in the control group was significantly higher than those in the post-COVID-19 group. The number of patients who received two doses of vaccine was also significantly higher in the control group. Comparison of the distribution of preexisting medical conditions and postoperative complications, duration of hospital stay, and incidence of 30-day mortality did not show any significant difference in both groups.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Incidence of postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, and 30-day mortality in post-COVID-19 patients undergoing surgical procedures were comparable with patients with no history of COVID-19 infection.<\/jats:p>\n
