“…7,12,13,15,20 Our study found no difference between the two groups in type of surgery required and in time to surgery with average times similar to recently published overall population data. 15 Therefore, delay to surgical treatment is an unlikely cause of any increase in geriatric morbidity or mortality.…”

“…The overall operative mortality was 3.4%, which is on the lower end of the range reported in other recent studies. 2,3,7,12,13,26 The geriatric patients in our study had an increased mortality relative to the younger cohort, however this was not statistically significant likely due to an underpowered study. Surgical mortality for abdominal surgery in the elderly has been shown to be due a number of factors including increased number of comorbid diseases, malignant disease, and severity of surgical condition.…”

“…Patient-related factors such as age, concomitant disease, necrosis of the bowels and delayed therapy were associated with mortality in previous studies (9)(10)(11)(12). Fevank et al (13) reported age to be the most significant factor in terms of death and complications.…”

“…Table 4. Risk factor analysis in terms of mortality Playfort et al (10) pointed out the adverse effects of therapeutic delay in patients with mechanical bowel obstruction, and reported that the increase in time intervals from onset of symptoms to hospitalization, and in-hospital delay prior to surgery led to an increase in the rate of complications and death. It has been stated that therapeutic delay of over 24 h tripled the mortality risk (13).…”
