Trends in Clinical Outcomes After Major Emergency Abdominal Surgery in Denmark, Data From 2002-2022
Results of this cohort study suggest notable reductions in mortality and hospital length of stay after major emergency abdominal surgery. A marked increased readmission rate and a persistently high rate of postoperative complications were found. These shifts underscore the need for enhanced postoperative monitoring and postdischarge follow-up.
