Clinical Trial Summary

A retrospective analysis of emergency general surgical admissions during the first six months of the pandemic (from March 11 to September 11, 2020) and the same period in 2019, will be conducted.


Clinical Trial Description

The volume and disease severity of emergency general surgery admissions between the first six-month period of the pandemic and the similar time period in the prepandemic period in 2019 will be compared. Patients admitted during the first six months of the COVID-19 pandemic, from March 11 to September 11, 2020, will be included. As a comparison group, similar data will be collected on patients admitted to the general surgery department during the same period in 2019. Patient and disease characteristics, including demographics, initial leukocyte and C-reactive protein levels, diagnosis, treatment strategies, complications, duration of hospital stay, 30-day rehospitalization rate, and 30-day reoperation rate will be reviewed. Complications will be classified according to Clavien-Dindo classification. Tokyo Guidelines 2018/2013 will be used to assess the severity of the acute cholecystitis. After the patients are divided into two groups: (1) prepandemic period and (2) pandemic period, descriptive statistics will be presented as the medians and ranges, and frequencies (%). Associations between variables will be evaluated using the Mann-Whitney U test (for continuous variables) or Pearson's chi-square and Fisher exact tests (for categorical variables), where appropriate. ;
