Considering Risk Factors for the Development of Complications With Perforations of the Esophagus

The main factors in the formation of esophageal suture failure were: the etiological factor of esophageal perforations (p=0.031), the duration of the period between esophageal perforation and surgery (p=0.047), the severity of the general condition (p=0.016), and the presence of purulent-infectious complications during hospitalization (0.002 ≤ p ≤ 0.026). The duration of the period from receiving perforation of the esophagus to the start of the operation is of great power (more than 24 hours increases the risk by 3.62 times, right-sided colitomy - by 3.72 times, perforation of the esophagus by foreign bodies - by 2.95 times, the presence of mediastinitis at admission - by 4.18 times, localization of perforations of the esophagus in the lower thoracic region - by 2.68 times, hypertensive disease, diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease - by almost 2. These risk factors should be considered when planning the tactics of managing patients with esophageal perforations
