ERAS implementation was associated with a significantly shorter length of stay, allowing for the ambulatory management of this group of patients. Ambulatory laparoscopic appendectomy is safe and feasible with similar rates of morbidity and readmissions compared with conventional care.
Preoperative CRP with values ≥11 mg/dL was associated with the highest odds (OR = 17.9) of presenting DLC in our study. This value possesses good sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV for predicting DLC in our population with acute calculous cholecystitis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
