Summary

Early typhoid perforation and prompt surgery significantly improve patient outcomes. Delayed presentation and surgical intervention correlate with higher mortality and morbidity rates in typhoid perforation cases.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Surgical Prognosis

Background:

  • Typhoid perforation is a serious complication of Salmonella Typhi infection.
  • Prognosis is influenced by factors such as illness duration and surgical timing.
  • Understanding these factors is crucial for improving patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of illness duration before perforation on typhoid perforation prognosis.
  • To assess the effect of the time interval between perforation and surgery on patient outcomes.
  • To identify key prognostic indicators for typhoid perforation.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative study involving 72 patients with typhoid perforation.
  • Patients were grouped based on the duration of illness before perforation (1st, 2nd, 3rd week).

  • Patients were also grouped by the time to surgical intervention (within 24h, 24-48h, after 48h).

    • Main Results:

    • Mortality rates increased with delayed perforation (6.6% to 25%) and delayed surgery (8.33% to 22.2%).
    • Morbidity rates also showed a similar trend, rising with delayed diagnosis and treatment.
    • Early perforation and timely surgery were associated with better outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Early presentation of typhoid perforation is a positive prognostic sign.
    • A shorter interval between perforation and surgical intervention improves patient prognosis.
    • Optimizing patient presentation and surgical timing are essential for better results in typhoid perforation.
