Study Overview

Status

Completed

Detailed Description

It is a population-based cohort study of patients operated for adhesive small bowel obstruction during a five-year period (2007-2012) in two Swedish neighboring regions. Patients were identified by a broad search of operation and ICD codes. Preoperative data as age, gender, co-morbidity, previous surgery was registered as well as mechanisms of obstruction and intraoperative data. Short and long-term complications were analyzed. Patients were followed to 31st January 2017 , last medical note or death.
