Is Nighttime Really Not the Right Time for a Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy? by Anna C. M. Geraedts, Meindert N. Sosef, Jan Willem M. Greve, Mechteld C. de Jong

“…While univariate analyses revealed out-of-hours procedure (OR=1.83; p=0.008) to be associated with an increased risk of complications, when controlling for confounding factors by multivariate analysis, this association was not found. However, operation by surgical staff (OR=1.71) and conversion to laparotomy (OR=3.74) were found to be independently associated with an increased risk of complications (both p<0.05), while an emergency procedure tended to be associated with postoperative morbidity (OR=1.82; p=0.069). …”
