Thirteen proceeded to cholecystectomy, nine elective and four emergent. Mean time to operation was 97 days (range 1\u2013480). Ten were performed laparoscopically with a complication rate of 23% (3\/13). One patient in the operative group died. Seventeen patients did not proceed to cholecystectomy. Fifteen resolved and were discharged, and two died. Three of those discharged were readmitted with gallstone disease requiring treatment, one of which died. A total of 71% (12\/17) of the non\u2010operative group died and three of those had a cause of death related to gallstone disease. The operative group was younger (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.01) and had a lower estimated mortality risk (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05).
