What is Tokyo Guidelines for the Diagnosis of Acute Cholecystitis about?

As a contributor to the Tokyo Guidelines, I read with interest "Evaluating the Relevance of the 2013 Tokyo Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Cholecystitis" in the July issue of the Journal. 1 In this article, it was concluded that "The TG13 diagnostic criteria lack sensitivity and missed more than half of the patients with acute cholecystitis. . . ."
