Outcomes following out-of-hours acute cholecystectomy: A systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSION This systematic review and meta-analysis has not shown an increased risk in overall or specific complications associated with out-of-hours compared with in-hours acute cholecystectomy. However, future studies should assess the potential impact of structural hospital factors, such as an ASU, on outcomes following out-of-hours acute cholecystectomy. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Study, Level IV.
