The impact of frailty on the postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing cholecystectomy: Propensity score matched analysis of 2011–2017 US hospitals
HPB Jun 29, 2021
Lee DU, Fan GH, Hastie DJ, et al. - Researchers intended to determine if there is an association between clinical frailty and post-cholecystectomy outcomes using a national registry of hospitalized patients. They used the 2011–2017 National Inpatient Sample database to identify patients who had a cholecystectomy. According to results, post-match, using the binary term, frail patients (n = 40,067) had higher rates of mortality, length of stay, costs, and complications. In multivariate, frailty was linked to higher mortality. According to this study, the presence of frailty (and prefrailty) is an independent risk factor of adverse postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing cholecystectomy.
