APACHE IV system helps to determine role of cholecystostomy in elderly patients with acute cholecystitis

Objective Cholecystostomy is a palliative treatment for patients unfit to undergo immediate cholecystectomy. Nevertheless, the role of cholecystostomy in the clinical management of such patients remains unclear. The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation IV (APACHE IV) scoring system is usef...
