Assessment of Risk Factors for Conversion in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Performed Due to Symptomatic Cholecystolithiasis.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionLaparoscopic cholecystectomy is the current gold standard in the treatment of symptomatic cholecystolithiasis. The occurrence of the conversion is related to higher perioperative mortality or prolonged hospitalization. The aim of this study was to evaluate selected risk factors for conversion of laparoscopic cholecystectomy among patients undergoing surgery due to symptomatic cholelithiasis. PATIENTS AND
methodsA retrospective analysis of patients operated on for symptomatic cholelithiasis from November 2021 to June 2023 was performed. Correlations between selected factors and the occurrence of conversion were analyzed. Early outcomes of surgical treatment and the impact of using the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol were analyzed.
resultsThe analysis concerned 227 patients who were operated on due to symptomatic cholelithiasis. In 28 (12.3%) cases, the procedure was converted to an open method. A multivariate analysis showed that male gender (p=0.003, OR=0.196), type 2 diabetes (p=0.018, OR=4.045), older age (p=0.008, OR=1.063), and a history of acute cholecystitis (p<0.0001, OR=1.981) predispose to conversion. The occurrence of conversion is associated with the increased duration of surgery and hospitalization, a higher rate of surgical site infections, and clinically significant complications (p<0.0001). Statistically significant differences were found in the length of stay depending on the use of the ERAS protocol (p<0.0001).
conclusionsThe most important preoperative risk factors for conversion in the case of cholecystectomy performed due to symptomatic cholelithiasis include male gender, older age, type 2 diabetes, and a history of an episode of acute cholecystitis. The use of the ERAS protocol is safe and does not increase the conversion rate or clinically significant postoperative complications.
