Does a preoperative scoring system predict difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients undergoing the procedure?
Effect estimate: AUC 0.86
A preoperative scoring system using clinical and imaging parameters can accurately predict difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomies, allowing for better surgical planning and patient counseling.
Gupta et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (n=210). Preoperative scoring system was evaluated on Prediction of difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy (AUC 0.86). A preoperative scoring system predicted difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy with 95.74% sensitivity, 73.68% specificity, and an area under the ROC curve of 0.86.
