摘要：Background Re-laparotomy is one of the causes of morbidity and mortality among patients with abdominal surgery; unless efforts are made to prevent it in advance by identifying its potential risk factors. Objective The study aimed to assess the prevalence and factors associated with re-laparotomy. Methods A Retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 390 charts at Debre-Markos referral hospital from three hundred and ninety charts (3 9 0) from January 1, 2015, to January 30, 2017. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22. The associated factors for re-laparotomy were identified using multivariable logistic regression. P-values 60 hrs, elective surgery, were associated with re-laparotomy at Debre-Markos referral hospital. Conclusion The overall prevalence of re-laparotomy found to be high. Examining and identifying high-risk patients and accordingly taking all appropriate care should be done to decrease the risk of re-laparotomy. Shortening the preoperative hospital stay and duration operation further decrease the prevalence of re-laparotomy.
