- The study analyzed data from 33,320 anesthesia encounters across 12 centers, identifying several independent risk factors for COVID-19 positivity, including race, ethnicity, and specific medical conditions.
- This research represents the first large-scale universal testing for COVID-19 in pediatric anesthesia, providing insights into how certain factors correlate with infection risk during surgery.
