Abstract

Purpose of the Study: The purpose of this study is to make an analysis on the factors of mortality at the prefecture hospital of Kankan.

Introduction: By its very definition, mortality can be defined as the number of deaths that have occurred in a population during a given period. The mortality rate is expressed as a percentage; it is the proportion between the total number of deaths in a given space and the size of the population.

Materials and Methods: Its was a prospective cross-sectional observational study over a period of 6 months. The target population consisted of all patients admitted to the surgical department during the study period.

Results: The sex ratio of nearly 1.42 (M/F) reflected a strong male prevalence of mortality with a frequency of 20 cases, 59% against 14 women, or 41%. In our study, the hospitalization time was less than 10 days with extremes of 1 to 27 days.

The average age of the deceased patients was 41 ± 10 years with extreme ages of 2 years and 81 years. The maximum number of deaths concerns the age group between 50 and over with a percentage of 38.22%.

Conclusion: This study allowed us to understand that most of our deceased patients were due to septic wounds, see generalized sepsis and the chronic poverty of the patients which impacts the adequate management.
