Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. what factors are associated with adverse post-operative events
2. are patients treated differently based on sex or age
3. how does quality of life look like and possibly change over the coarse of a year after surgery
This is an evaluation of the current standard of care and the outcomes of this patient group prior to the implementation of a standardised care protocols for emergency laparotomy patients. Secondly, the study aims to, over time, compare results before and after the introduction of this standardised care protocol.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Old routine of non-standardised laparotomy care
Group following the old routine of emergency laparotomy care i.e. no existing standardised care protocols.
No interventions assigned to this group
New routine of standardised laparotomy care
Group which has been part of the hospital's new standardised care routine for emergency laparotomy.
Standardised laparotomy care
This is a cohort study and no intervention as part of the study has been introduced. We are studying two groups and comparing the two before and after the introduction of a standardised laparotomy care protocol as part of a clinical quality improvement measure.
