Resumen
El abdomen agudo es una de las patologías más frecuentes que afectan a los pacientes ancianos, siendo de vital importancia un diagnóstico oportuno debido a su presentación atípica ya que podría verse comprometida la vida del paciente.
Hemos realizado un estudio en el Hospital Universitario de Guayaquil con el cuál queremos conocer los datos epidemiológicos y la frecuencia de los tipos de abdomen agudo que más afectan al paciente geriátrico.
Objetivo: Establecer el perfil epidemiológico y tipos más frecuentes de abdomen agudo en pacientes geriátricos en el Hospital Universitario de Guayaquil octubre 2015/ octubre 2017.
Materiales y método: Se obtuvo información de 300 pacientes mediante historias clínicas del departamento de estadística previo a la realización de una hoja recolectora de datos.
Resultados: El 20.80% de las consultas geriátricas corresponden a abdomen agudo, la presentación de acuerdo al sexo es similar siendo más común en mujeres; la edad en la que se presenta con mayor frecuencia es entre los 75 a 84 años siendo este rango de edad el que presenta la mayor mortalidad.
El tipo de abdomen agudo más frecuente en esta edad es el inflamatorio con un 58%, siendo la colecistitis aguda la más prevalente con un 45.3%.
