Appendix, Gallbladder and Surgical Emergencies ·
Study analyzed prehospital factors associated with the need for emergent procedures within 6 hours of hospital admission. A triage score was developed from predictors such as age, penetrating injury, and vital signs, showing good predictive power in identifying patients requiring immediate surgical or non-surgical procedures. This tool could enhance prehospital triage accuracy and resource allocation in trauma cases.

Patients who needed emergency general surgery within 60 days of a pulmonary embolism had more major complications than those operated on later, in a national database study.
Among 3,785 patients who had emergency general surgery after acute pulmonary embolism, those operated on at least 60 days later had markedly fewer major adverse events (adjusted OR 0.45, 95% CI 0.37–0.55).
After major emergency abdominal surgery, patients who develop lung complications face much higher death risk, most sharply in the first days.
