Variables affecting mortality rates in patients undergoing emergency abdominal surgery: A retrospective cross-sectional study.
Article in Ulusal travma ve acil cerrahi dergisi = Turkish journal of trauma & emergency surgery : TJTES, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPatients operated under emergency conditions have a higher risk of death and complications than those per-formed under elective conditions. Especially the patient group with high comorbidity needs to be evaluated more specifically. Accord-ing to the surgical risk and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scoring, the perioperative risk should be determined quickly, and the relatives of the patients should be informed. This study aimed to evaluate the factors affecting mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing emergency abdominal surgery.
methodsA total of 1065 patients aged 18 years and older who underwent emergency abdominal surgery in 1 year were included in the study. The primary aim of this study was to determine the mortality rates in the first 30 days and 1 year and the variables af-fecting these rates.
resultsOf 1065 patients, 385 (36.2%) were female and 680 (63.8%) were male. The most common procedure was appendectomy (70.8%), followed by diagnostic laparotomy (10.2%), peptic ulcus perforation (6.7%), herniography (5.5%), colon resection (3.6%), and small bowel resection (3.2%). There was a significant difference between the age of the patients and mortality (p<0.05). There is no statistically significant relationship between gender and mortality. A statistically significant correlation was found between ASA scores, perioperative complication, perioperative blood product use, reoperation, intensive care unit admission, hospitalization time, periop-erative complication, and 30-day mortality and 1-year mortality. There is a significant relationship between trauma and only 30-day mortality (p=0.030).
conclusionThe morbidity and mortality of patients operated on under emergency conditions increased compared to elective surgical operations, especially those over age 70. The 30-day mortality rate of patients who underwent emergency abdominal surgery is 3%, while the 1-year mortality rate is 5.5%. Mortality rates are higher in patients with a high ASA risk score. However, mortality rates in our study were found to be higher than the mortality rates in ASA risk scoring.
