Summary

This study will observe 1,500 adults with severe gallbladder inflammation caused by gallstones. Researchers will compare outcomes like recovery, survival, and hospital stay among patients treated with early surgery, drainage, or antibiotics alone. No new treatments are tested—doctors choose the approach based on usual care. The goal is to help guide future treatment decisions for this common emergency condition.

Who is studied

Adults with severe acute calculous cholecystitis (Tokyo Guidelines 2018 Grade III) presenting to participating centers and managed under routine clinical care. The population reflects patients in whom treatment decisions are influenced by physiologic severity, comorbidity, and institutional capability. Consecutive eligible patients are enrolled prospectively to define a real-world denominator cohort. Analytic subsets are subsequently defined at the attending surgeon-level decision point to evaluate treatment strategies under conditions in which alternative approaches are simultaneously feasible.
