We described the nature and patterns of intraoperative adverse events (iAEs) in emergency surgery (ES) and investigated independent impact on 30-day morbidity, mortality, and hospital charges.
iAEs were detected and confirmed through screening of the linked institutional administrative and databases at a tertiary academic center.
Multivariable analyses were performed to study the independent impact of iAEs on 30-day morbidity, mortality, and hospital charges.
In ES, iAEs are independently associated with increased postoperative morbidity and length of hospital stay.
