Snakebites in the Brazilian Amazon are caused mostly by snakes from the Bothrops genus and envenomated patients may suffer from tissue complications.
This study aimed to identify risk factors for severe tissue complications (STC) in patients with Bothrops snakebite in the Amazonas state, Brazil.
Snakebites that were classified as severe and affected female patients with comorbidities presented greater risks of developing STCs. In addition, hospitalizations of patients with STC exceeded 5 days.
Clinical and epidemiological characteristics can prove essential for assessing the evolution of STC and clinical prognosis of patients with Bothrops snakebites.
在巴西亚马逊地区,蛇伤主要由矛头蝮属的蛇引起,被蛇咬伤的患者可能会出现组织并发症。
本研究旨在确定巴西亚马逊州被矛头蝮属蛇咬伤患者发生严重组织并发症(STC)的危险因素。
被归类为严重的蛇伤和患有合并症的女性患者发生 STC 的风险更高。此外,发生 STC 的患者的住院时间超过 5 天。
临床和流行病学特征对于评估 STC 的演变和矛头蝮属蛇咬伤患者的临床预后至关重要。
