The Jesuit Mission to Jamaica has operated two schools with the name Campion in the title in Kingston, Jamaica. Campion Hall Prep School was first located at St. George’s College in 1940 to prepare boys for secondary education, especially St. George’s, a secondary school. To accommodate increased enrollment and provide for boarding students, a property, Roslyn Hall, on 115 Old Hope Road, was purchased in 1942. On January 5, 1960, Campion College, a secondary school, held its first classes, using classrooms of Campion Hall Prep. To make room for the needs of the growing College, the Preparatory School graduated its last class in 1962. The 6th form became co-educational in 1969. In 1976, Campion College ceased being a private school and became a co-educational, grant-aided school. The girls took their first seats (apart from in 6th form) in September 1976. This was achieved by merging with Sts. Peter and Paul High School for Girls. For Campion Hall Preparatory School, the Collection contains deeds and descriptive material, 1942-1971. For Campion College, the collection contains records of the Jesuit Community, House histories, House diary and the Consultors Minute Book (restricted), and for the College, a few yearbooks and some descriptive material, 1959-2000

Mortality and pulmonary complications in patients undergoing surgery with perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infection: an international cohort study

Background: The impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on postoperative recovery needs to be understood to inform clinical decision making during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This study reports 30-day mortality and pulmonary complication rates in patients with perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods: This international, multicentre, cohort study at 235 hospitals in 24 countries included all patients undergoing surgery who had SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed within 7 days before or 30 days after surgery. The primary outcome measure was 30-day postoperative mortality and was assessed in all enrolled patients. The main secondary outcome measure was pulmonary complications, defined as pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, or unexpected postoperative ventilation. Findings: This analysis includes 1128 patients who had surgery between Jan 1 and March 31, 2020, of whom 835 (74·0%) had emergency surgery and 280 (24·8%) had elective surgery. SARS-CoV-2 infection was confirmed preoperatively in 294 (26·1%) patients. 30-day mortality was 23·8% (268 of 1128). Pulmonary complications occurred in 577 (51·2%) of 1128 patients; 30-day mortality in these patients was 38·0% (219 of 577), accounting for 81·7% (219 of 268) of all deaths. In adjusted analyses, 30-day mortality was associated with male sex (odds ratio 1·75 [95% CI 1·28–2·40], p\textless0·0001), age 70 years or older versus younger than 70 years (2·30 [1·65–3·22], p\textless0·0001), American Society of Anesthesiologists grades 3–5 versus grades 1–2 (2·35 [1·57–3·53], p\textless0·0001), malignant versus benign or obstetric diagnosis (1·55 [1·01–2·39], p=0·046), emergency versus elective surgery (1·67 [1·06–2·63], p=0·026), and major versus minor surgery (1·52 [1·01–2·31], p=0·047). Interpretation: Postoperative pulmonary complications occur in half of patients with perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infection and are associated with high mortality. Thresholds for surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic should be higher than during normal practice, particularly in men aged 70 years and older. Consideration should be given for postponing non-urgent procedures and promoting non-operative treatment to delay or avoid the need for surgery.
