• W4387092743 abstract "Globally, interest in surgical diseases in the elderly was rekindled recently mainly due to a surge in the aging population and their increased susceptibility to infections. In sub-Saharan Africa, infective diseases are major causes of high morbidity and mortality especially in elderly cohorts, hence this study was set to evaluate current status of this scourge in the elderly in our environment.To document the aetiologic factors and analyze the impact of selected clinical and perioperative indices on mortality and morbidity rates of peritonitis in the elderly.This was a multicenter prospective study involving elderly patients aged 65years and above managed between October 2015 and September 2021 in Southeast Nigeria.Of the 236 elderly patients examined, approximately two-third (150, 63.6%) were aged 65-74years. The rest were aged ≥ 75years. There were 142(60.2%) males and 94(39.8%) females. Perforated peptic ulcer (89,37.7%) was the most common cause of peritonitis followed by ruptured appendix (59, 25.0%), then typhoid perforation (44,18.6%). However, typhoid perforation was the deadliest with a crude mortality rate of 40.9%. Overall, morbidity and mortality rates were 33.8% and 28.5% respectively. The main independent predictors of mortality were peritonitis arising from typhoid perforation (p = 0.036), late presentation (p = 0.004), district location of hospital (p = 0.011) and intestinal resection (p = 0.003).Generalized peritonitis is a cause of significant morbidity and mortality in the elderly patients in our environment. Perforated peptic ulcer was the most common cause, but typhoid perforation remains the deadliest. Late presentation, district hospital setting and bowel resection were associated with elevated mortality." @default.
