Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Background:

Fournier's gangrene it's a necrotizing infection of the genital area, with high morbidity and mortality. The site of infection its the origin of the necrotizing fasciitis. There are 4 well known origins of Fournier's gangrene: Testicular, Intestinal, Urinary and cutaneous, and its prognostic value has not been established yet, that's because the lack of case series with adequate number of patients. This is a retrospective study in which we evaluate the prognostic factors of every patient and its mortality compared with its origin area and multiple scores with their survival rates and hospital stay.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Objective:

To evaluate origins of Fournier's gangrene as a prognostic value in the morbidity and mortality.

Patients and methods:

This is a retrospective study where patients from a single hospital from 2007 to 2016 were included. They were categorized in 4 groups matching the origin of infection. In every group categorizing with the origin of infection and determined severity factors, days of hospital stay, Fournier's gangrene severity index and mortality. A statistic analysis will be done using lineal multivariable analysis.
