Why the study?
To elucidate the role of age and comorbidity in predicting adverse outcomes following emergency surgery for complicated intra-abdominal infections.

Does high comorbidity (a-CCI ≥ 5) predict adverse outcomes in adult patients undergoing emergency surgery for complicated intra-abdominal infections?
The degree of comorbidity, estimated by an age-adjusted score, has a critical impact on the postoperative course following emergency surgery for complicated intra-abdominal infections.
