Morbidity and mortality of oesophageal perforation

Morbidity and mortality of oesophageal perforation.

Thirty-three patients with oesophageal perforation seen within a 20-year period are reviewed. Endoscopic perforation in patients with neoplastic disease of the oesophagus carried a 100% mortality despite early diagnosis and immediate resection of the growth. Only two deaths occurred after instrumental perforation of the thoracic oesophagus for benign pathology in patients who were in the extrem...

Predictors of Morbidity and Mortality After Surgery for Intestinal Perforation

PURPOSE An intestinal perforation is a rare condition, but has a high mortality rate, even after immediate surgical intervention. The clinical predictors of postoperative morbidity and mortality are still not well established, so this study attempted to identify risk factors for postoperative morbidity and mortality after surgery for an intestinal perforation. METHODS We retrospectively analy...

Impact of co-morbidity on mortality after oesophageal cancer surgery.

BACKGROUND There is limited knowledge of how co-morbidities influence survival after surgery for oesophageal cancer. This population-based cohort study investigated how Charlson co-morbidity index and specific co-morbidities influenced all-cause and disease-specific mortality. METHODS Data from all patients who underwent oesophageal cancer surgery in Sweden in 1987-2010, with follow-up until ...
