“…Of an estimated 418,545 patients who met study criteria, 83,272 (19.9%) were managed nonoperatively. Compared to operative patients, nonoperative patients were older (64.5 years ± 19.3 vs 54.6 ± 19.1), less commonly female (49.2 vs 58.3%), and had a higher burden of comorbid disease by Elixhauser Index (2 [ 3 5 ] vs 2 [ 1 3 ], all p <0.001). Nonoperative patients were more commonly in the lowest income quartile (29.3 vs 28.2%), and more likely to have Medicare (57.6 vs 37.0%), as opposed to private insurance (20.0 vs 34.5%, all p <0.001), compared to others.…”

“…While cholecystectomy is the mainstay of treatment, rates of nonoperative management have increased over the last 40 years [ 3 , 4 ]. Nonoperative therapies include antibiotics alone and image-guided procedures such as percutaneous gallbladder aspiration or drainage [ 5 , 6 ]. Patient factors associated with non-operative management have been identified to include older age and public insurance [ 7 , 8 ].…”

“…Clinical severity is determined based on the TG18 criteria, which include a variety of clinical findings such as the patient's history (duration of symptoms), physical examination, laboratory testing, and imaging modalities following the diagnosis (4,5). In terms of rapidly implementing the most effective treatment protocol for a patient, assessment of the severity of AC is as essential as making the correct diagnosis (6). In addition, a quick, simple, and low-cost mortality predictor is essential for determining the institution where the patient ought to be treated (first contact clinic or specialized healthcare centers) and the intensity of treatment.…”
