Surgical risk calculator development for postoperative outcomes after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a multicenter prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the standard surgical procedure for benign gallbladder disease. However, the analysis of risk factors for complications, including serious complications such as bile duct injury (BDI), has been largely overlooked. This study aimed to collect standardized prospective data from multiple centers and to develop a predictive model for laparoscopic cholecystectomy complications.

Methods

This study included 2,514 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for benign gallbladder disease at 18 academic institutes in Korea. Fifty-six preoperative and intraoperative variables were analyzed as risk factors for adverse postoperative outcomes, including overall complications. A surgical risk calculator was developed using a multivariate log
