Abstract
In-patient mortality after cholecystectomy is 7.8-fold higher in patients with portal hypertension compared with those without portal hypertension. African Americans experienced higher mortality than whites after cholecystectomy, especially in the presence of portal hypertension. Cholecystectomy at a liver transplant center may offer survival benefit for patients with portal hypertension.
