The impact of frailty syndrome and risk scores on emergency cholecystectomy patients

PURPOSE:
Cholecystectomy, which is one of the most common surgical procedures, is also performed in the emergency setting. A number of risk scores have been introduced in recent studies; moreover, over the last few years literature has focused on surgical patients with frailty syndrome. The aim of the present study is to evaluate whether frailty syndrome and the risk scores are correlated with morbidity, post-operative hospital stay and the ICU admission rate following emergency cholecystectomy.
