What this trial studies
This observational study analyzes data from patients who required acute surgical care at Skåne University Hospital from 2009 to 2019. The research focuses on identifying risk factors associated with complications and mortality in patients with conditions such as acute pancreatitis, gastrointestinal bleeding, and perforated ulcers. By utilizing propensity score analysis, the study aims to evaluate treatment options that lead to better outcomes based on factors like frailty, comorbidity, age, and gender. The findings will inform future prospective studies aimed at improving prophylactic treatments and surgical interventions.
