Clinical Profile, Laboratory Parameters, and Radiological Correlation in Non-Traumatic Acute Abdomen: A Prospective Observational Study
Abstract: Background: Acute abdomen is a common surgical emergency, particularly challenging in resource-limited settings where CT is not routinely available. Methods: A prospective observational study of 50 patients with non-traumatic acute abdomen requiring surgical intervention was conducted at a tertiary care hospital from January 2024-December 2024. Clinical, laboratory, and radiological findings were correlated with operative diagnoses. Results: Abdominal pain was present in all patients (100%). Leukocytosis was observed in 80%. Pneumoperitoneum was detected in 36% of cases and correlated with perforation peritonitis in all instances. The most common operative diagnoses were perforation peritonitis (38%) and acute appendicitis (30%). Overall, preoperative and operative diagnostic agreement was strong. Conclusion: Integrated clinical assessment supported by basic imaging provides reliable diagnostic accuracy without routine CT. Early diagnosis and timely intervention remain essential to reduce morbidity in resource-limited settings.
