We hypothesized that having multiple procedures (for example, hernia repair plus bowel resection) would be associated with higher mortality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Patients and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We identified all 2017 National Inpatient Sample admissions with ACS procedures including: colon, small bowel\/appendix (SB), hernia, adhesiolysis, peptic ulcer procedures, gallbladder, debridement, other laparotomy, other laparoscopy. The total number of procedures for each admission and common dyad (two-procedure) and triad (three-procedure) combinations were identified. Logistic regression estimated the odds of in-hospital mortality for increasing procedure count and specific dyad and triad combinations, using patients with one procedure as the reference.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 216,317 ACS patients (median age, 57, interquartile range [IQR], 43\u201370; 50.6% female) were included; 2.8% died. Patients with multiple procedures were more likely to die than patients with one procedure (7.4% vs. 1.9%). An increasing number of procedures was associated with higher odds of death (two procedures: odds ratio [OR], 3.0; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.9\u20133.2] to six or more procedures, OR, 9.5; 95% CI, 4.9\u201318.5); having more than three procedures was associated with at least fivefold higher odds of death. Specific dyads\/triads were associated with particularly high risk of mortality, including ulcer\/laparotomy (OR, 15.5; 95% CI, 13.7\u201317.5) and laparotomy\/SB (OR, 8.31; 95% CI, 5.15\u201313.40).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Multiple ACS procedures in one hospitalization confer increased odds of in-hospital mortality.
