A descriptive and retrospective study was carried out, consisting of a sample of 274 clinical records of patients seen at the Hospital of Isidro Ayora de Loja with post-surgical diagnosis of appendicitis in the period 2011 to 2015; the data obtained were entered in the program Excel 2005 and later analyzed in the program IBM SPSS Statistics 24. It was observed that 58.03% were male; the prevailing age group was between 16 - 20 years old with 21.50%; Phlegmonous phase II in 42.70% and postoperative complications occurred in 2.19% (6 cases). In conclusion, these data are similar to those recorded in the universal literature; therefore, there is no change in the pattern of presentation of appendicitis in the patients treated at that hospital. |
