In this single-center retrospective study we wanted to investigate mortality and postoperative complications after emergency laparotomy performed in patients aged 80 years or above.
Methods:
During 2015-2016 106 patients aged 80 years or above underwent emergency laparotomy at Haukeland University Hospital.
Primary outcome was mortality at 30 days. Secondary outcomes were mortality at 90 days, 1 year, postoperative complications and level of care at discharge.
The Medical records were reviewed in detail and mortality and postoperative morbidity were registered. Post-operative complications were defined according to the European Perioperative Clinical Outcome (EPCO) definitions and included if they were Clavien Dindo grade 2 or above.

Mortality at 1 year after date of emergency laparotomy
| 1 year after emergency laparotomy |
| Postoperative complications | Number of patients having a postoperative complication as defined by the European Perioperative Clinical Outcome Definitions (EPCO) will be reported. The EPCO definitions state universal description of various common postoperative complications, like f.ex pulmonary complications, major adverse cardiac events, urinary tract infections and so on. This is a way of securing a universal approach to postoperative complications. We will grade complications according to the Clavien Dindo classification. According to this classification postoperative complications are graded from 1 to 5, where 1 indicates least severity of complication and 5 indicating worst severity. We will report number of patients having complications from grade 2 to grade 5. | Postoperative complications registered in medical records from date of emergency laparotomy until death in hospital or discharge from hospital, whichever came first. |
| Level of care at discharge | From the medical records will be retreived information regarding dependency in activities of daily living (ADL) at discharge. Specifically will be measured number of patients discharged to own home, and number of patients discharged to nursing home facility. Also will be measured number of patients transferred to other hospital. | Up to 90 days from date of emergency laparotomy. |
