- Abstract
The article provides an overview of a population-based historical cohort study which investigates the impact of cholecystitis on patients with cancer in Denmark between 1995 and 2003. Researchers examined that 230 cases of cholecystitis were identified in the cancer cohort during 130,185 person-years. They found that the relative risk (RR) for cholecystitis among patients was 1.38%. Overall, they observed that RR for cholecystitis was doubled during the first 6 months after cancer diagnosis.
