Why the study?
There is currently no consensus on the management of antithrombotic therapy in gastrointestinal surgery, and its risk for postoperative complications in abdominal emergency surgery remains to be examined.
Does taking antithrombotic drugs increase postoperative complications in patients undergoing abdominal emergency surgery?
Does taking antithrombotic drugs increase postoperative complications in patients undergoing abdominal emergency surgery?
Antithrombotic drug use is not an independent risk factor for postoperative complications in abdominal emergency surgery, suggesting that underlying comorbidities and surgical invasiveness are the primary drivers of risk.
Antithrombotic use was not independently tied to complications; leaves open optimal perioperative management pending prospective data.
