Objectives: Infection is one of the major complications following intestinal obstruction surgery, yet predictors of its occurrence are not sufficiently reported. In this study, we examine the factors leading to postoperative inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and sepsis. Methods: The data of 213 patients who underwent intestinal obstruction surgery between 2015 to 2020 in King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, were reviewed retrospectively. Patients' demographic characteristics and preoperative, intraoperative, and 30-day postoperative data were compared between patients who had postoperative SIRS/sepsis and patients who had no complications. Results: Ninety-six patients (44%) developed SIRS/sepsis within 30 days after surgery. More than half of the patients were males (55.8%), and the mean age at operation was 56.7(SD=20.0)years. Preoperative high heart rate, low albumin levels, and postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) admission were independently and significantly associated with developing SIRS/sepsis post-operation. The mortality rate in this study was estimated to be 7.5%; of those, 93.8% had SIRS/sepsis. Conclusion: The 30-day mortality rate is considerably higher among patients who developed SIRS/sepsis after intestinal obstruction surgery. The independent risk factors of developing SIRS/sepsis after operation were elevated heart rate, low albumin levels preoperation, and ICU admission post-operation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
