Gangrena de Fournier: estudio de los factores pronósticos en 90 pacientes

Abstract: Introducción: Este estudio evalúa los factores de riesgo y aquellas variables pronósticas que influyen en la supervivencia de los pacientes con gangrena de Fournier. Material y métodos: El estudio analiza retrospectivamente 90 pacientes con gangrena de Fournier tratados en nuestra institución entre 1975 y 2008. Evaluamos la edad media, enfermedades médicas asociadas, el origen de la fascitis necrotizante, el tiempo de evolución y la extensión de la fascitis necrotizante.

“…metronidazole (3/0) Discussion FG is the necrotizing fasciitis of the perineum and genital area that affects mainly males in the fifth to seventh decades of life. Currently, the age of the patients with FG has increased, as reported by many authors and as shown also in our series, with a median age of 69 years [5,6]. Some studies do not report significant differences of age in survivors and nonsurvivors.…”

“…Some studies do not report significant differences of age in survivors and nonsurvivors. However, others such as Clayton, Laor and Medina have reported that the median age in survivors was lower than in nonsurvivors, with significant differences [5][6][7]. The same was true in our series, but without statistical significance.…”

“…Dicho rango puede deberse a que la presencia de síntomas leves, como malestar perineal o genital, puede preceder en varios días a la aparición de la clásica placa necrótica 10 . En relación a la superfi cie corporal comprometida, esta varió entre 1 y 10%, tampoco resultó ser un factor de riesgo estadísticamente signifi cativo, lo que es similar a lo publicado por Palmer, quien afi rma que la supervivencia no es directamente proporcional al área afectada y sugiere que los pacientes con extensión limitada tienen más probabilidades de sobrevivir 15 .…”
