Researchers conducted a study in Taiwan to assess the risk of recurrent small bowel obstruction (SBO) after non-operative management in patients with a history of intra-abdominal surgery. They developed a scoring system, the Small Bowel Obstruction Recurrence Score (SBORS), which successfully predicted 6-month recurrence of SBO after non-surgical management. Patients with scores >2 had higher rates and risks of recurrence, mortality, and operative events. The SBORS model showed good calibration and discrimination, aiding in predicting SBO recurrence in this patient population.
