Despite its frequency, little is known on its epidemiology in Peru. Objectives: To determine the relation between incidence of appendicitis and environmental temperature. Design: Multiple group study. Setting: San Fernando Faculty of Medicine, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Lima, Peru. Material: Records from the Ministry of Health and data from the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics, Lima, Peru. Methods: An ecological study of multiple groups was performed from appendicitis records. Results were analyzed with Pearson coefficient and Poisson regression. Main outcome measures: Incidence of appendicitis and annual average temperature by department and incidence rate ratios (IRR). Results: A positive correlation between temperature and rate of incidence of appendicitis (r = 0.46; p = 0.02) was obtained. In the regression analysis a significant association (p = 0, 01) between incidence rate of appendicitis and environmental temperature (IRR = 1.04, CI: 1.01-1.08) was found. Conclusion: There was direct association between incidence of appendicitis and enviromental temperature.Introducción: La apendicitis aguda es la causa más frecuente de abdomen agudo quirúrgico. A pesar de su frecuencia, poco se conoce sobre su epidemiologia en el Perú. Objetivos: Realizar una exploración de su incidencia y su relación con la temperatura ambiental. Diseño: Estudio ecológico de grupos múltiples. Institución: Facultad de Medicina de San Fernando, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Lima, Perú. Material: Registros del Ministerio de Salud y del Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática, Lima, Perú. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio ecológico de grupos múltiples a partir de los registros de apendicitis. Se analizó los resultados con el coeficiente correlación de Pearson y para medir la asociación se usó la regresión de Poisson. Principales medidas de resultados: Incidencia de apendicitis y temperatura media anual por departamento y razón de incidencias (IRR). Resultados. Se encontró una correlación positiva entre la temperatura y la tasa de incidencia de apendicitis (r= 0.46, p=0.02). En el análisis de regresión se obtuvo una asociación significativa (p= 0.01) entre la tasa de apendicitis y la tasa de apendicitis (IRR=1.04, IC: 1.01-1.08). Conclusiones. Existió asociación directa entre la incidencia de apendicitis y la temperatura ambiental.Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Facultad de Medicina Humana2015-09-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistasinvestigacion.unmsm.edu.pe/index.php/anales/article/view/1123410.15381/anales.v76i3.11234Anales de la Facultad de Medicina; Vol. 76 No. 3 (2015); 253-256Anales de la Facultad de Medicina; Vol. 76 Núm. 3 (2015); 253-2561609-94191025-5583reponame:Revistas - Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcosinstname:Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcosinstacron:UNMSMspahttps://revistasinvestigacion.unmsm.edu.pe/index.php/anales/article/view/11234/10197Derechos de autor 2015 Paul J.
