Key result
The abstract only outlines the study objectives and does not report any quantitative results regarding the impact of the acute care surgery clinical pathway on acute appendicitis outcomes.
Why the study?
Following acute care surgery implementation, a perioperative clinical pathway for acute appendicitis was developed to improve efficiency and standardize postoperative care, but its impact on patient outcomes needed assessment.
Does an acute care surgery clinical pathway improve patient outcomes in patients with acute appendicitis?
Observational
No
Does an acute care surgery clinical pathway improve patient outcomes in patients with acute appendicitis?
Hypothesis-generating for ACS pathway use in appendicitis; leaves open need for randomized confirmation before practice change.
Objectives: Acute care surgery (ACS) encompasses surgical critical care, emergency general surgery, and the surgical management of trauma. Following ACS implementation at our institution, we developed a perioperative clinical pathway for acute appendicitis (AA) to improve efficiency and standardize post-operative care. The purpose of our study is to assess patient outcomes utilizing our ACS clinical pathway for patients with AA.
