Detailed Description

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

At Skåne University Hospital approximately 6000 individuals are treated for acute abdominal diseases each year. Given the high number of patients, there is an urgent need to optimize acute surgical care. Lower complication rates would decrease hospital stay, health care costs as well as personal suffering.

Assessment instruments for risks and frailty are not validated for the acute setting and the investigators hypothesize there is room for improvement in prophylactic interventions and risk assessment. The investigators will study cohorts of patients with three different surgical diagnosis: acute pancreatitis, gastrointestinal bleeding and perforated ulcer aiming to identify risk factors for complications or death and to investigate assessment tools in this population. Using propensity score analysis, the investigators will try to identify treatment options associated with better outcome for subcohorts defined by frailty, comorbidity, age or gender. Specific factors of interest include: time to- and kind of treatment, handling of ongoing pharmacological therapy (anticoagulants, corticosteroids) and need for further treatments on a long time basis. The results from this project will be used in a future prospective study where prophylactic treatments and specific treatment options are studied.
