Study of Risks and Outcomes in Adults Needing Emergency Surgery at Skne University Hospital

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are observing patients who needed urgent surgical care at Skne University Hospital from 2009 to 2019. The study focuses on three surgical conditions acute pancreatitis, gastrointestinal bleeding, and perforated ulcer. The goal is to identify factors that increase the risk of complications or death and to evaluate current risk assessment tools for these patients. This research aims to improve preventive measures and treatment options for future care. Participants are grouped based on their diagnosis severity, age, medication use, frailty, and need for additional surgery. The study reviews different treatments given based on clinical decisions without assigning specific interventions. Researchers will analyze patient data to see how timing and type of treatment, as well as ongoing medications like anticoagulants and corticosteroids, affect outcomes over a long period. During the study, information about hospital stays, number of interventions, complications, and recurrence of disease will be collected and analyzed for up to five years. The main outcomes measured include mortality, need for additional surgery, and disease recurrence. This observational study does not involve active treatment but monitors past patient data to find patterns that could improve future care and reduce suffering and costs associated with acute surgical conditions.
