ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the factors associated with complications in inguinal hernioplasty in a hospital of the armed forces of Peru, 2013-2017. Methods: Observational, quantitative, retrospective, analytical type case and control study. There were 52 cases and 104 controls, obtained under the spreadsheet and chosen by simple probabilistic sampling. We analyzed the association measures through the Odds Ratio (OR). A 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was used and the chi-squared statistic was applied with a statistical significance level of less than 0.05. Results: It was found that seroma was the most frequent complication. With regard to sex, an OR was observed: 1.41; 95% CI: 0.655 - 3.05; p 0.375, for age, an OR was obtained: 4.56; 95% CI: 2.24 - 9.28; p 0.00. For obesity, an OR was found: 28.52; 95% CI: 10.9-74.60; 0.00. In the diameter of the hernial ring, OR was obtained: 1....

Objetivo. Determinar los factores asociados a complicaciones en la hernioplastía inguinal en un hospital de las fuerzas armadas del Perú, 2013-2017. Métodos. Se realizó un estudio observacional, cuantitativo, analítico tipo casos y control, retrospectivo. La población consta de 650 pacientes atendidos durante Junio del 2013 a Junio del 2017 en el Centro Médico Naval. Se contó con 52 casos y 104 controles, obtenidos bajo hoja de cálculo y escogidos al azar. Se procedió a la revisión sistemática de historias clínicas y llenado adecuado cumpliendo los criterios de inclusión y exclusión dentro del formato de la ficha de recolección de datos. Se analizó las medidas de asociación a través del Odds Ratio (OR). Se utilizó un intervalo de confianza al 95% (IC 95%) y se aplicó el estadístico chi cuadrado con un nivel de significancia estadística menor a 0,05 Resultados. Se e...
