Data collected included patient demographics and comorbidities, presenting symptoms, laboratory findings, imaging results, length of stay (LOS), time to surgery, and surgical complications.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>\nA total of 1078 patients were admitted with ACC. There were 593 females (55%), and the mean age was 57 \u00b1 0.6 years. Mean LOS at initial admission, re\u2010admission until surgery, and following surgery was 7.9 \u00b1 0.2, 1.5 \u00b1 0.1, and 3.4 \u00b1 0.2\u00a0days, respectively. Percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) tube was inserted in 24% of the patients. Only 640 (59%) patients eventually underwent LC. Mean time to surgery was 97 \u00b1 9.8\u00a0days, and 16.4% of patients were readmitted in this time period resulting in a mean total LOS of 10.6 \u00b1 0.2\u00a0days. Conversion rate to open surgery was 5.8% and bile duct injury occurred in 1.1%. Postoperative complications occurred in 9.8% of the patients, and 30\u2010day mortality was 0.6%. Patients with more severe inflammation according to Tokyo Criteria grade were more likely to undergo PC, were more likely to be readmitted while waiting for LC, and also had more postoperative complications.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Delayed LC is associated with significant loss of follow\u2010up, long LOS, and higher than expected use of PC. Conversion rates are lower than in the literature while rates of bile duct injury and mortality are comparable. We believe these data as well as the available literature are sufficient to change our hospital policy regarding the surgical treatment of ACC from delayed to early same admission surgery in appropriate cases.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-017-3928-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,1]],"date-time":"2017-03-01T15:39:26Z","timestamp":1488382766000},"page":"1762-1768","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Delayed
