“…Our findings indicated that AAP constituted 5.6% of ED visits. This rate is lower than those reported in the studies from Tanzania (8.5%), Nigeria (9.6%), India (16.66%), and Kenya (16.7%) (16)(17)(18)(19). However, an Italian study reported a rate of 5.8%, close to the rate we found in our cohort (20).…”

“…The gender distribution in our study is different from other reports. 15,16,18,20,21 For example, a national population-based cohort study from Australia found that the number of female patients (63.3%) tended to be higher than that of males (15) (16,18,21). In addition, a national population-based cohort study from Italia also detected that the rate of female patients (52%) tended to be higher than that of males (20).…”

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the pattern and outcomes of Acute abdominal pain (AAP) in an adult population presented to the Emergency Department (ED) in the only tertiary care center of Somalia by analyzing the role of urological conditions in detail. Materials and Methods: Demographic and clinical data of the adult (i.e., age>18) patients who presented to the ED for AAP between December 2021 and June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: During the study period, 600 patients presented to the ED with the chief complaint of AAP. The mean age of the participants was 56.7±12.4(15–93). Most (34.8%) patients were aged between 18 and 30. The most frequent diagnosis was NSAP(24%), followed by appendicitis(11.1%), bowel obstruction(7.2%), renal colic(6.8%), and biliary colic-cholecystitis(6.5%). Appendicitis, renal colic, bowel obstruction, and perforated peptic ulcer were more frequent in males than females. Among the 273(45,5%) patients admitted to the hospital, 168(54.9%) were male, and 105(35,7%) were female. While 24.2% of all admissions were due to appendicitis, 15.4% were due to intestinal obstruction. Conclusions: Non-specific abdominal pain is the most common diagnosis in both age and gender groups despite being slightly more frequent in younger and female patients. In addition to NSAP, appendicitis, bowel obstruction, and renal colic are the most common diagnoses in patients who presented to ED with the chief complaint of AAP.

Objetivo: Apresentar os aspectos mais importantes das causas, diagnósticos e terapias do abdome agudo. Revisão bibliográfica: O abdome agudo é caracterizado pela presença de dor e sensibilidade abdominal de início súbito e evolução progressiva, com duração máxima de 5 dias e origem não traumática. A partir disso, deve-se avaliar a necessidade de observação em regime hospitalar, exames adicionais e/ou indicação cirúrgica imediata. Após avaliação clínica, pode-se tomar a decisão de realizar a investigação diagnóstica adicional com marcadores laboratoriais, exames de imagem como radiografia simples, ultrassonografia e Tomografia Computadorizada (TC) e, em alguns casos, a endoscopia. Pode ser classificado como urgente e não urgente. A fim de facilitar a propedêutica médica e raciocínio clínico, as síndromes são divididas baseando-se em seus processos determinantes. Exemplos incluem o abdome inflamatório, perfurativo, obstrutivo, vascular e hemorrágico. O tratamento será definido de acordo com a apresentação clínica do paciente. Considerações finais: A avaliação diagnóstica no abdome agudo parte da avaliação clínica, anamnese e exame físico. Realizado o diagnóstico, deve-se iniciar de forma rápida a abordagem terapêutica intervencionista.
