In-hospital mortality significantly decreased annually for patients with cholecystitis (OR 0.92, 95% CI 0.91 to 0.93). In-hospital mortality between rural and urban centers was comparable for symptomatic cholelithiasis (OR 1.27, 95% CI 0.79 to 2.03) and cholecystitis (OR 0.93, 95% CI 0.84 to ...
First, participants were asked to describe their gallbladder disease (i.e., cholelithiasis, cholecystitis, dyskinesia), whether cholecystectomy was recommended by a surgeon, plans for future treatment (i.e., future surgery), and reasons for or against choosing cholecystectomy. Next, participants were...

Background: We hypothesized that trends in total bilirubin in the context of cholecystitis and symptomatic cholelithiasis could be used to guide testing for the presence of common bile duct stones (CBDS).Gillaspie, Devin B.Davis, Kimberly A.Schuster, Kevin M....

The aim of this study was to clarify the impact of dementia on surgical outcomes of laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic cholelithiasis and acute cholecystitis.We reviewed medical data of 96 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic cholecystitis and acute cholecystitis. The ...
