| Popis: | OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to compare data of patients submitted to appendectomy for acute appendicitis at a public hospital and at a private hospital. METHODS: A total of 200 medical records of patients submitted to appendectomy for acute appendicitis at a public hospital (n=100) and at a private hospital (n=100), was reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS: Mean age and gender distribution were similar for patients of both hospitals. More patients had been previously evaluated by other physicians in the group of the public hospital (n=85) than of the private hospital (n=13) (p< 0.0001). Ultrasonography was performed more frequently on patients of the public hospital (n=56) than of the private hospital (n=30) (p=0.0002). Length of hospital stay was longer at the public hospital (3.5±2.8 days) than at the private hospital (2.5±1.7 days) (p=0.0024). Postoperative complications were more frequent at the public hospital (n=36) than at the private hospital (n=20) (p |
