The goal of this observational cohort study is to evaluate the standard of care for general surgerical patients undergoing emergency laparotomy and assess factors affecting clinical outcomes, as well as evaluating the quality of life in the year after abdominal surgery.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. what factors are associated with adverse post-operative events
2. are patients treated differently based on sex or age
3. how does quality of life look like and possibly change over the coarse of a year after surgery
This is an evaluation of the current standard of care and the outcomes of this patient group prior to the implementation of a standardised care protocols for emergency laparotomy patients. Secondly, the study aims to, over time, compare results before and after the introduction of this standardised care protocol.
