Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In this single-center retrospective study we wanted to investigate mortality and postoperative complications after emergency laparotomy performed in patients aged 80 years or above.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Methods:

During 2015-2016 106 patients aged 80 years or above underwent emergency laparotomy at Haukeland University Hospital.

Primary outcome was mortality at 30 days. Secondary outcomes were mortality at 90 days, 1 year, postoperative complications and level of care at discharge.

The Medical records were reviewed in detail and mortality and postoperative morbidity were registered. Post-operative complications were defined according to the European Perioperative Clinical Outcome (EPCO) definitions and included if they were Clavien Dindo grade 2 or above.
