Abstract
The goal of this American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Project (ACS-NSQIP) study was to determine the association between ethnicity and short-term perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing emergency abdominal surgery, as previous studies have noted relationships between minority patients and inferior health care outcomes. This was a retrospective review of 75,280 patients in the ACS-NSQIP database who underwent abdominal surgery for a bowel obstruction, perforated hollow viscous, colectomy, incarcerated hernia, cholecystectomy, or appendectomy.
