Abstract
Emergency colectomy for FCDC is associated with high mortality rate. The majority of patients who have significant co-morbidities (75%) did not survive following emergency colectomy. Therefore, it is crucial to identify those patients early in their disease course before they progress into FCDC and organ failure.
