| dc.description.abstract | Objective: Ileus is a common surgical emergency and tends to recur like other gastrointestinal tract pathologies. Recurrent episodes of ileus cause morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics, outcomes, and laboratory parameters of patients who presented with initial and recurrent episodes of ileus. Method: A retrospective observational study at a tertiary care hospital examined adult patients (≥18 years) diagnosed with ileus in the emergency department from January 2018 to March 2021. Results: This study was performed on 393 ileus patients in the emergency department. Of the patients, 312 (79.4%) were in the initial admission group and 81 (20.6%) were in the recurrent admission group. 144 patients (36.6%) were found to have comorbid diseases and the rate of comorbid patients in the initial group (23.7%, n=74) was significantly lower than in the recurrent group (50.7%, n=41) (p<0.001). Among 337 patients (85.8%) who were followed up on the ward and 56 patients (14.2%) who were followed up in the intensive care unit, the rate of follow-up in the intensive care unit was significantly higher for the initial group (16%, n=50) than for the recurrent group (7.4%, n=6) (p=0.048). In-hospital mortality was 11.5%, and there was no significant difference between the groups (p=0.776). WBC, CRP, CRP/albumin, and RDW/albumin ratios were lower in recurrent admissions, and a statistically significant difference was found between the groups (p=0.034, p<0.001, p=0.001, p=0.013, respectively). Conclusion: In managing patients with recurrent ileus episodes, clinicians may benefit from the findings of this study. | |
