Background: The aims of this study were to investigate the clinical significance of systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI), systemic inflammation index (SII), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) in deciding whether to perform cholecystostomy when determining if cholecystostomy is the right choice for acute cholecystitis (AC) patients.
Methods: Between January 2018 and December 2020, 126 consecutive patients with AC with and without cholecystostomy were retrospectively recruited from the Trakya University in Edirne, Turkey. Group I included AC patients with cholecystostomy and Group II included AC patients without cholecystostomy.
