Prognostic factors in patients with gastrointestinal perforation under the acute care surgery model : a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gastrointestinal perforation (GIP) is a life-threatening condition that necessitates immediate surgical intervention. This study aims to identify prognostic factors in patients with GIP treated within a standardized acute care surgery (ACS) framework.

Materials and methods
