    Abstract Purpose: Appendicitis is among the most common acute conditions treated by general surgery. While uncomplicated appendicitis (UA) can be treated delayed or even non-operatively, complicated appendicitis (CA) is a serious condition with possible long-term morbidity that should be managed with urgent appendectomy. Distinguishing both conditions is usually done with computed tomography. The goal of this study was to develop a model to reliably predict CA with widespread available clinical and laboratory parameters and without the use of sectional imaging.
    Methods: Data from 1132 consecutive patients treated for appendicitis between 2014 and 2021 at a tertiary care hospital were used for analyses. Based on year of treatment, the data was divided into training (n = 696) and validation (n = 436) samples. Using the development sample, candidate predictors for CA-patient age, gender, body mass index (BMI), American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) score, duration of symptoms, white blood count (WBC), total bilirubin and C-reactive protein (CRP) on admission and free fluid on ultrasound-were first investigated using univariate logistic regression models and then included in a multivariate model. The final development model was tested on the validation sample.
    Results: In the univariate analysis age, BMI, ASA score, symptom duration, WBC, bilirubin, CRP, and free fluid each were statistically significant predictors of CA (each p < 0.001) while gender was not (p = 0.199). In the multivariate analysis BMI and bilirubin were not predictive and therefore not included in the final development model which was built from 696 patients. The final development model was significant (x
    Conclusions: Correctly identifying CA is helpful for optimizing patient treatment when they are diagnosed with appendicitis. Our logistic regression model can aid in correctly distinguishing UA and CA even without utilizing computed tomography.

    Abstract Purpose: Early cholecystectomy is recommended for acute calculous cholecystitis to reduce complications and lower health care costs. However, not all patients admitted to emergency services due to acute calculous cholecystitis are considered for surgery immediately. Our intention was therefore to evaluate patient management and outcome parameters following cholecystectomy depending on the type of emergency service patients are primarily admitted to.
    Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of all patients that were treated for acute cholecystitis at our hospital between 2014 and 2021. Only patients that underwent surgical treatment for acute calculous cholecystitis were included. Patients with cholecystectomies that were performed due to other medical conditions were not incorporated. Primary outcomes were the perioperative length of stay and postoperative complications. Perioperative antimicrobial management and disease deterioration according to Tokyo Guidelines from 2018 due to inhouse organization were assessed as secondary outcome parameters.
    Results: Of 512 patients included in our final analysis, 334 patients were primarily admitted to a surgical emergency service (SAG) whereas 178 were initially treated in a medical service (MAG). The latency between admission and cholecystectomy was significantly prolonged in the MAG with a median time to surgery of 2 days (Q25 1, Q75 3.25, IQR 2.25) compared to the SAG with a median time to surgery of 1 day (Q25 1, Q75 2, IQR 1) (p < 0.001). The duration of surgery was comparable between both groups. Necrotizing cholecystitis (27.2% vs. 38.8%, p = 0.007) and pericholecystic abscess or gallbladder perforation (7.5% vs. 14.6% p = 0.010) were less frequently described in the SAG. In the SAG, 85.7% of CCEs were performed laparoscopically, 6.0% were converted to open, and 10.4% were performed as open surgery upfront. In the MAG, 80.9% were completed laparoscopically, while 7.2% were converted and 11.2% were performed via primary laparotomy (p = 0.743). Histologically gangrenous cholecystitis was confirmed in 38.0% of the specimen in the SAG compared to 47.8% in the MAG (p = 0.033). While the prolonged preoperative stay led to prolonged overall length of stay, the postoperative length of stay was similar at a median of 3 days in both groups.
    Conclusions: To our knowledge, we present the largest single center cohort of acute calculous cholecystitis evaluating the perioperative management and outcome of patients admitted to either medical or surgical service prior to undergoing cholecystectomy. In patients that were primarily admitted to medical emergency services, we found disproportionately more gallbladder necrosis, perforation, and gangrene. Despite prolonged time intervals between admission and cholecystectomy in the MAG and advanced cases of cholecystitis, we did not record a prolonged procedure duration, conversion to open surgery, or complication rate. However, patients with acute calculous cholecystitis should either be primarily admitted to a surgical emergency service or at least a surgeon should be consulted at the time of diagnosis in order to avoid disease progression and unnecessary health care costs.

    Abstract Elevated fasting ethanol levels in peripheral blood frequently found in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASLD) patients even in the absence of alcohol consumption are discussed to contribute to disease development. To test the hypothesis that besides an enhanced gastrointestinal synthesis a diminished alcohol elimination through alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) may also be critical herein, we determined fasting ethanol levels and ADH activity in livers and blood of MASLD patients and in wild-type ± anti-TNFα antibody (infliximab) treated and TNFα

    Abstract (1) Background: Perioperative Antibiotics for acute complicated appendicitis are a standard of care. While there are plenty of trials for pediatric patients, data for elderly patients are scarce. The goal of our study was to evaluate whether elderly patients carry more resistant bacteria and thus have less favorable outcomes after an appendectomy that may warrant intensified perioperative antibiotic treatment (2) We present a retrospective single-center matched pair (139 patients each) analysis of perioperative and microbiological outcomes of an elderly appendicitis cohort (i.e., older than 60 years) compared with a younger adult cohort (i.e., ≤60 years). Both groups were matched one for one according to gender, duration of symptoms, c-reactive protein at presentation and whether they presented with uncomplicated or complicated appendicitis. (3) Results: After matching, complicated appendicitis was present in 76.3% of both groups. Elderly patients more frequently received preoperative diagnostic CT (p < 0.001) than the young. Both operative strategy (laparoscopic appendectomy in 92.1% each) and duration of surgery (57 vs. 56 min) were equal in both groups. Postoperative antibiotics were prescribed in ~57% for a median of 3 days in both groups and antibiotic selection was similar. The incidence of surgical site infections was higher in the young (12.2% vs. 7.9%) yet not significant. There was no difference in culture positivity or bacterial spectrum and the elderly cohort did not present with increased resistant bacterial isolates. (4) Conclusions: While overall resistant bacterial strains were rare, perioperative outcomes between the young and the elderly did not differ and did neither warrant longer nor intensified antibiotic treatment.

    Abstract Introduction: Cholecystectomy (CCE) is the treatment of choice of symptomatic gallstones. Due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, operating room (OR) capacities have been reduced. The goal of this study was to evaluate the duration of symptoms of patients presenting with gallstone disease during a lockdown, the surgical management, and the severity grade of their disease.
    Materials and methods: A cohort study of 353 CCEs performed at a university hospital over two 10-week periods during 2 pandemic lockdowns in Germany compared to corresponding periods in 2018 and 2019.
    Results: During the lockdowns, 101 CCEs were performed compared to 252 in the prior years. The number of elective CCEs was reduced to save OR capacities (
    Conclusions: The incidence and severity of acute cholecystitis during the lockdowns were comparable to the prior years. Acute care surgery was provided at the expense of elective procedures, and there was no need for treatment alterations.
