Pre-operative anxiety adds no predictive value for post-cholecystectomy stay; leaves open its role in other perioperative outcomes.
Observational (n=81)
Do pre-operative anxiety variables predict post-operative hospital stay in cholecystectomy patients?
p-value: p=not significant
Pre-operative anxiety does not significantly predict the length of post-operative hospital stay in cholecystectomy patients beyond biographical and medical status variables.
Boeke et al. (1992) conducted an observational in Cholecystectomy (n=81). Pre-operative anxiety was evaluated on Post-operative hospital stay (p=not significant).
