Summary: Objectives: Analyse risk factors related to length of stay in a selection of patients with cervical abscesses and identify predictors for complications.  Study design: Retrospective study.  Material and methods: Study of cervical abscesses in adults admitted to the ENT service at Hospital Garcia Orta from 2014 to 2019.  Results and Conclusions: 146 patients were identified. Advanced age, comorbidities such as hypertension or diabetes, dyspnoea on admission, size of the abscess, non-periamygdalin location, need to change antibiotic or non-transoral drainage route were statistically associated with longer hospital stay and complications. Creatinine, urea and increased CRP at admission were identified as predictors of complications.  The approach to patients with suspected cervical abscess should consider the assessment of factors that may alert to a higher risk of complications or to a longer hospital stay, as shown in the present study.

Foram estatisticamente associados a maior tempo de internamento e complicações: idade avançada, comorbilidades como HTA ou diabetes, dispneia na admissão, dimensão do abcesso, localização não periamigdalina, necessidade de alteração de antibioterapia ou via de drenagem não transoral. A creatinina, ureia e PCR aumentadas à admissão foram identificados como preditores de complicações.  A abordagem dos doentes com suspeita de abcesso cervical deve ter em conta a avaliação de fatores que podem alertar para um maior risco de complicações ou para um tempo de internamento mais prolongado, como os apresentados neste estudo. Sociedade Portuguesa de Otorrinolaringologia e Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoço2021-03-07info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34631/sporl.869https://doi.org/10.34631/sporl.869Portuguese Journal of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery; Vol. 59 No. 1 (2021): March; 31-39Revista Portuguesa de Otorrinolaringologia e Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoço; Vol. 59 Núm. 1 (2021): Março; 31-39Revista Portuguesa de Otorrinolaringologia-Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoço; Vol. 59 N.º 1 (2021): Março; 31-392184-6499reponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPporhttps://journalsporl.com/index.php/sporl/article/view/2219https://journalsporl.com/index.php/sporl/article/view/2219/191Direitos de Autor (c) 2021 Revista Portuguesa de Otorrinolaringologia e Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoçoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFerreira, FilipaSão Pedro, RicardoProença, VitorAntunes, Luis2024-06-06T12:57:26Zoai:journalsporl.com:article/2219Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T17:53:32.892350Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
