Implication

Retrospective study compares risk scores for predicting complications and hospital stay in acute cholecystitis patients, suggesting improved stratification.

Key Points

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of different prognostic scores in predicting postoperative complications and prolonged hospital stay after cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis.
Single-center retrospective study with 211 patients undergoing cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis
Compared five prognostic scores: Chole-Risk, Chole-Risk mod, POSSUM PS, APACHE II, CCI
Discriminative performance evaluated using AUC and pairwise comparisons with the DeLong test
Postoperative complications occurred in 55 patients (26.1%) and prolonged length of stay in 31 patients (14.7%)
Chole-Risk mod demonstrated the highest discrimination (AUC 0.925; OR 16.60; 95% CI 9.49–43.56)
For prolonged LOS, Chole-Risk mod had the best performance (AUC 0.869)
