Post-Operative Anticipation of Outcome after Cholecystectomy
Background: A substantial group of patients with gallstone disease experience negative outcome after surgical removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy). Early identification of these patients is important. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to recognize predictors (trait anxiety and clinical symptoms) of negative symptomatic outcomes at 5 weeks after cholecystectomy. Materials and Methods: Consecutive patients (n = 66), 18–60 years, with symptomatic gallstone disease, completed symptom checklists and the state-trait anxiety inventory preoperatively and at 6 weeks after cholecystectomy. Results: High trait anxiety was the only predictor of persistence of biliary symptoms at 6 weeks after cholecystectomy (OR = 6.79). Conclusion: In addition to clinical symptoms, high trait anxiety is a predictor of negative symptomatic outcome at 6 weeks after cholecystectomy. Trait anxiety should be evaluated to aim at a patient-tailored approach in gallstone disease.
