Popis: AIM The risk of developing hemorrhagic complications during or after surgery in patients receiving antithrombotic therapy remains uncertain.

METHODS This record-based retrospective study included patients who underwent emergency laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis between September 2015 and January 2019. Patients who received elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy, open cholecystectomy, or gallbladder drainage before surgery were excluded. We evaluated the diseases for which antithrombotic therapy was administered, background characteristics, laboratory parameters and perioperative outcomes of patients with acute cholecystitis. The primary outcomes were intraoperative bleeding, blood transfusion requirement, conversion to an open procedure, and postoperative complications, including bleeding. RESULTS One hundred and twenty-one patients (non-antithrombotic therapy, n = 92; antithrombotic therapy, n = 29) were analyzed. There were differences in age and American Association of Anesthesiologists class (P
