globally, 4.2 million people are estimated to die within 30 days of surgery each year, with half of these occurring in low- and middle-income countries. a prospective study of 10,745 adult patients undergoing emergency abdominal surgery from 357 centres across 58 countries found that mortality is three times higher in low- compared with high-human development index (hdi) countries even when adjusted for prognostic factors. in this study the overall global mortality rate was 1·6 per cent at 24 hours (high hdi 1·1 per cent, middle hdi 1·9 per cent, low hdi 3·4 per cent), increasing to 5·4 per cent by 30 days (high hdi 4·5 per cent, middle hdi 6·0 per cent, low hdi 8·6 per cent; p < 0·001). a sub-study of 1,409 children undergoing emergency abdominal surgery from 253 centres across 43 countries found that adjusted mortality in children following surgery may be as high as 7 times greater in low-hdi and middle-hdi countries compared with high-hdi countries. this translate to 40 excess deaths per 1000 procedures performed in these settings. patient safety factors were suggested to play an important role, with use of the who surgical safety checklist associated with reduced mortality at 30 days.
