Impact of preoperative factors and waiting time on post-appendectomy complications: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Several factors are associated with increased postoperative complications after appendectomies. However, few studies combined these potential factors for comprehensive prediction of surgical outcomes. Whether high-risk patients benefit from a shorter waiting time for surgery remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the impact of surgical waiting time and potential risk factors on postoperative complications.

Methods

A total of 1343 patients diagnosed with acute appendicitis requiring an emergent appendectomy were included from 2013 to 2018. The preoperative risk factors associated with postoperative complications were selected and the probability of postoperative complications was calculated by multivariate logistic regression model. Patients were divided into
