Predictors of acute gangrenous cholecystitis and its complications: a retrospective cohort study
Acute gangrenous cholecystitis is common, and preoperative diagnosis is often missed. Our data suggests that considering age, co-morbidities and radiological indicators may be important to inform decision making in patients with acute cholecystitis and might facilitate timely diagnosis and optimize the medical and surgical management of those with acute gangrenous cholecystitis.
