The aim of this paper is to determine the postoperative outcomes and mobility levels of patients by utilizing DEMMI scores. This is the first study addressing this score in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This cohort study was conducted at the King Fahad Hospital Al Hofuf and the National Guard Hospital in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from January 2022 to January 2023 using a sample of old-age patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). The target population comprised of 75 patients aged 50 years and older. Seventy-five patients were included in the study; the median age was 55, with a minimum age of 50 and a maximum age of 72, resulting in a range of 22. The early DEMMI score has a median of 62, a minimum of 53, and a maximum of 100, yielding a range of 47. Regarding the DEMMI score at discharge, the median was 85, with a minimum of 74 and a maximum of 100, resulting in a range of 26. DEMMI scores are a good tool for assessing patients following laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
