Determinants of Access to Emergency Surgery at the University College Hospital, Ibadan

NCT04487496 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 87

Last updated 2023-05-12

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Access to surgery is reported to be significantly lower in low income countries like Nigeria, and upwards of 5 billion people globally lack safe access to surgery. The investigators intend to answer the question, what is the burden of access to acute care surgery alongside their determinants in the University College Hospital, Ibadan (UCH). The expected results from this study will provide basis for evidence-based policy aimed at improving time-to-emergency surgery and thus improve outcomes.

A cross-sectional doctors' survey and a prospective case records review would be the study designs; using a minimum of fifty-one participants and case records respectively. The doctors will be selected randomly from all the surgical services and the emergency department in the UCH, ensuring a fairly equal allocation. The case notes will be of patients in the UCH requiring emergency surgery that had surgeries.

Data from this study will be entered and analysed using STATA/MP 15.0 (Stata Corp, College station, TX).
