Abstract
BACKGROUND There is little international data on morbidity and mortality of surgery for perforated peptic ulcer (PPU). This study aimed to understand the global 30-day morbidity and mortality of patients undergoing surgery for PPU and to identify variables associated with these. METHOD We performed an international study of adults (≥ 18 years) who underwent surgery for PPU from 1st January 2022 to 30th June 2022. Patients who were treated conservatively or had an underlying gastric cancer were excluded. Patients were divided into subgroups according to age (≤ 50 and > 50 years) and time from onset of symptoms to hospital presentation (≤ 24 and > 24 h). Univariate and Multivariate analyses were carried out to identify factors associated with higher 30-day morbidity and mortality. RESULTS 1874 patients from 159 centres across 52 countries were included. 78.3% (n = 1467) of the patients were males and the median (IQR) age was 49 years (25). Thirty-day morbidity and mortality were 48.5% (n = 910) and 9.3% (n = 174) respectively. Median (IQR) hospital stay was 7 (5) days. Open surgery was performed in 80% (n = 1505) of the cohort. Age > 50 years [(OR = 1.7, 95% CI 1.4-2), (OR = 4.7, 95% CI 3.1-7.6)], female gender [(OR = 1.8, 95% CI 1.4-2.3), (OR = 1.9, 95% CI 1.3-2.9)], shock on admission [(OR = 2.1, 95% CI 1.7-2.7), (OR = 4.8, 95% CI 3.2-7.1)], and acute kidney injury [(OR = 2.5, 95% CI 1.9-3.2), (OR = 3.9), 95% CI 2.7-5.6)] were associated with both 30-day morbidity and mortality. Delayed presentation was associated with 30-day morbidity [OR = 1.3, 95% CI 1.1-1.6], but not mortality. CONCLUSIONS This study showed that surgery for PPU was associated with high 30-day morbidity and mortality rate. Age, female gender, and signs of shock at presentation were associated with both 30-day morbidity and mortality.

Fungal diseases in Africa: Closing the gaps in diagnosis and treatment through implementation research and advocacy. J Mycol Med 2023; 33:101438. [PMID: 38358796 PMCID: PMC11103624 DOI: 10.1016/j.mycmed.2023.101438] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2023] [Revised: 10/12/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2024]
Abstract
Fungal diseases impose an escalating burden on public health in Africa, exacerbated by issues such as delayed diagnosis, inadequate therapy, and limited access to healthcare resources, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Effectively tackling these challenges demands a comprehensive approach encompassing research, training, and advocacy initiatives. Recent clinical mycology surveys conducted by Global Action for Fungal Infection (GAFFI) and the European Confederation of Medical Mycology/International Society for Human and Animal Mycology (ECMM/ISHAM) have underscored gaps in fungal diagnostics and the availability and accessibility of antifungal therapy in Africa. The World Health Organization (WHO) Fungal Priority Pathogens List (FPPL) identifies fungi of critical or high importance to human health, providing a roadmap for action and highlighting the urgent need for prioritizing fungal diseases and developing targeted interventions within the African context. To enhance diagnosis and treatment, it is imperative to invest in comprehensive training programs for healthcare workers across all levels and disciplines. Equipping them with the necessary knowledge and skills will facilitate early detection, accurate diagnosis, and appropriate management of fungal infections. Moreover, implementation science research in medical mycology assumes a pivotal role in bridging the gap between knowledge and practice. By identifying the barriers and facilitators that influence the adoption of diagnostic techniques and public health interventions, tailored strategies can be formulated to improve their implementation within healthcare settings. Advocacy plays a critical role in raising awareness regarding the profound impact of fungal diseases on public health in Africa. Engaging policymakers, healthcare providers, researchers, industry experts and communities underscore the importance of addressing these diseases and galvanize efforts for change. Substantial investment in surveillance, research and development specifically focused on fungal diseases is indispensable for advancing our understanding of local epidemiology, developing effective interventions, and ultimately improving patient outcomes. In conclusion, closing the gaps in diagnosing and treating fungal diseases in Africa demands concerted research and advocacy initiatives to ensure better healthcare delivery, reduced mortality rates, and improved public health outcomes.
