    "abstract": "Although early cholecystectomy is recommended for patients with acute cholecystitis, conservative treatment followed by delayed cholecystectomy (DC) is a highly preferred modality, especially in older adult patients. However, some severe cases require overdue urgent cholecystectomy (OC). This study aimed to evaluate the ability of laboratory findings and Tokyo severity classification (TokyoSC) to differentiate those with the need for OC among elderly patients.\nLaboratory/radiological/clinical findings of geriatric patients with acute cholecystitis on admission and TokyoSC were retrospectively analyzed. The DC and OC groups were compared.\nThe mean age of the 164 patients was 72.3\u00b16.4 years. White blood cell, neutrophil (NEU), immature granulocyte (IG), C-reactive protein, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and TokyoSC parameters were all significant at P<0.001 in differentiation. NLR had a specificity of 98%, and TokyoSC had a sensitivity of 98%.\nNLR, NEU, IG, and TokyoSC were effective in differentiating patients who needed OC while planning conservative treatment + DC for older adult patients who were followed up due to acute cholecystitis. If the NLR is >9.9 and TokyoSC is moderate/high, early cholecystectomy should be preferred instead of conservative treatment + DC in aged patients.",
