Abstract
Objective: Acute non-traumatic digestive surgical emergencies are a frequent cause of emergency in Africa. We undertook this study to investigate the morbidity and mortality of these patients in Cameroon, a developing country in Central Africa. Patients and methodology: This was an analytical cross-sectional study with prospective data collection, over a period of eight months (November 2019 to July 2020), at the Yaoundé central hospital (Cameroon). The latter is a second category (intermediate) public health facility in the Cameroon health pyramid, mainly welcoming patients without health insurance. All patients operated on for an acute non-traumatic digestive abdomen were included. The patients were followed up until the 12th postoperative week. We used Cox univariate regression to determine factors associated with the occurrence of postoperative complications. The significance threshold retained was 0.05.Entities:
