Overview

Observational analysis reveals perforation at surgery and wait time affect post-operative outcomes.

Key Points

  • Negative post-operative outcomes are significantly influenced by perforation at surgery, affecting recovery.
  • Pre-operative CRP and wait times from admission to surgery were key factors linked to complications.
  • Longer wait times and higher pre-operative CRP levels correlated with increased rates of perforation.
  • Patients with perforation experienced longer length of stay and higher readmission rates post-surgery.
