| Summary: | Objective: This study aims to describe the condition of Fournier’s gangrene in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital from January 2014 to December 2020. Material and methods: This study used a retrospective analytic design, by taking data through medical records at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital from January 2014 to December 2020. This study used total sampling with recorded data: age, gender, length of stay, outcome, location, comorbidities, causes, management, culture results, and Fournier’s gangrene severity index (FGSI) score. Result: Of the 135 subjects collected, it was found that 55.56% were individuals over 50 years of age. About 91.11% were male patients, with some sites being in the scrotum 50.37%. Only 25.19% of patients had no comorbids, while the rest had a history of CKD, hypertension, diabetes, or a combination of these diseases. Bacterial cultures obtained were mostly caused by the Enterobacteriaceae bacteria group (32.59%). Of the subjects we studied who experienced mortality, it was found that all were from the group with FGSI >9. Conclusion: From the results of our descriptive study, at a glance, it appears that there is a tendency for the incidence of Fournier’s gangrene in the elderly and individuals with comorbidities. And the mortality rate increases with a high FGSI value. So that FGSI could be used as a predictor of mortality in patients with FG. |
