Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infections (cIAIs) represent an emergent surgical situation which lead to important non trauma-related mortality in several Emergency Surgical Centers worldwide. Their prevalence seemed to be unrelated to age, gender, health status and socioeconomic condition. Early diagnosis, timely septic source control, wide-spectrum antibiotic delivery and resuscitation with fluids and vasoactive agents in critically ill patients are fundamentals for successful cIAIs management. Moreover, septic shock, antibiotic resistant multi-pathogens and comorbidities have been associated with increased morbidity and mortality of cIAIs.
Several international health associations announce updated guidelines for cIAIs management. Nevertheless, such guidelines could not be widely implemented, because of specific features of several healthcare systems worldwide. The aim of the present study is to investigate the prevalence of cIAIs among the Greek health system and the potential association of time interval of septic source control, preoperative resuscitation and multidrug resistant pathogens with morbidity, mortality, ICU stay and length of stay in patients with cIAIs.
