Systematic review and meta-analysis of factors which reduce the length of stay associated with elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy() 2020-09-06 .txt text/plain 4766 268 40 The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to identify interventions which are effective in reducing the length of stay (LOS) or improving the day case rate for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. METHODS: Comparative English-language studies describing perioperative interventions applicable to elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy in adult patients and their impact on LOS or day case rate were included. The objective of this meta-analysis was to identify perioperative interventions which reduce the LOS or increase the day case rate associated with elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy in adult patients. Studies were included for meta-analysis if three or more existed which reported the LOS or day case rate for the same comparator. In the 80 studies suitable for meta-analysis, the mean LOS for 10,615 patients was 61.2 h, with a 41.1% day case rate where reported. Three studies [110] [111] [112] were identified examining the effect of intensive versus standard preoperative education and none found differences in LOS or day case rate. ./cache/cord-324097-d23svod2.txt ./txt/cord-324097-d23svod2.txt
