A Cox regression model indicated statistically significant worse 30-day survival in patients operated on with a surgical delay of 12 to 24 hours (HR: 8.30; 95% CI: 1.13-61.4) and ≥48 hours (HR: 11.75; 95% CI: 1.53-90.2) compared to <12 hours surgical delay, whereas surgical delay of 24 to 48 hours (HR: 7.21; 95% CI: 0.98-52.9) showed a trend toward worse survival.
