[Perioperative mortality for perforated duodenal and gastric ulcer--analysis of 226 patients].
Przegla̧d Lekarski 1999
Between 1988 and 1997 in 226 patients (169 males--75.2% and 57 females--24.8%) surgical treatment was performed due to duodenal ulcer perforation (205 cases--90.7%) or gastric ulcer perforation (21 cases--9.3%, including 3 cases of perforated gastric cancer). Mean age was 51.5 years (19-94 years). In perforated duodenal ulcer the main procedure was truncal vagotomy with pyloroplasty performed in 95.6%, and simple ulcer suture in 4.4%. In perforated gastric ulcer the main procedure was Billroth I (Rydygier) stomach resection performed in 76.18%, and simple ulcer suture in 23.82%. A group of patients who died in perioperative period (29 cases--12.8%) was selected and compared to a group of others regarding age, sex, smoking, alcohol abuse, time elapsing between first symptoms and surgical treatment, use of NSAIDs, location and size of perforation hole, type of surgical procedures. On that basis 4 risk factors of disease in perioperative period due to perforated ulcer surgery were appointed: 1. Age--mean age of patients who died was 67 years (vs. 48.9 years among successfully treated), perioperative mortality in patients over 60 years old was 35.4%, and in patients over 70 years old was 50%). 2. Presence of three or more coexisting diseases--54.54% risk of disease (vs. 2.5% in patients with less than three or without coexisting diseases). 3. Delay in surgical treatment over 24 hours--48.15% of diseases vs. 7.04% in patients undergoing surgery within the first 24 hours following perforation. 4. Septic shock--80% of diseases.
