Popis: Guidelines suggest targeting a preoperative international normalized ratio (INR)1.5. We examined and compared the predictive value of INR relative to the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD). We reviewed the American College of Surgeons NSQIP from 2005 to 2016 for adult patients undergoing open or laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients with a preoperative INR were stratified into groups: ≤1,1 to ≤1.5,1.5 to ≤2, and2. Thirty day postoperative mortality was the primary outcome. Multivariable logistic regressions controlled for baseline differences. Of 58,177 cholecystectomy patients, 15.2 per cent had INR ≤ 1, 80.4 per cent had INR1 to ≤1.5, 3.7 per cent had INR1.5 to ≤2, and 0.7 per cent had INR2. Patients with INR2 were older and more likely to have diabetes and hypertension (
