Abstract
Background/Aim: Emergency surgeries have increased in Saudi Arabia. This study examines these surgeries and associated complications. Patients and Methods: This was a prospective multicenter cohort study of patients undergoing emergency intraperitoneal surgery from the eight health sectors of Saudi Arabia. Patients' data were collected over 14 days. Results: In total, 283 patients were included (163 men [54.06%]). The majority of cases were open surgery (204 vs. 79). The 24 h and 30-day mortality rates for the cohort were 0.7 and 2.47%, respectively. Twenty-nine patients (10.24%) required re-intervention, while 19 (8.12%) needed critical care admission. The median length of hospital stay was 3 days. Multivariate analysis showed American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) classification score (P = 0.0003), diagnosis (P < 0.0001), stoma formation (P = 0.0123), and anastomotic leak (P = 0.0015) to correlate significantly with 30-day mortality. Conclusion: American Society of Anesthesiologist score, diagnosis, stoma formation and anastomotic leak are associated with 30-day mortality after emergency surgery in Saudi Arabia.
