It has been recognized that medical treatment may not be successful in the management of the appendicular inflammatory mass in all patients, which is why the study and determination of different associated risk factors could predict treatment failure. Therefore, the objective of the present study is to identify the risk factors associated with the conversion from medical to surgical management of patients with an inflammatory appendix mass treated at Apoyo Iquitos Hospital, 2017 - 2019. For this, an observational, analytical study was carried out and retrospective. Concluding that age (p = 0.843), origin (p = 0.153), educational level (p = 0.102) and occupation (p = 0.304) do not have a statistically significant association in relation to the conversion from medical to surgical management. Regarding signs and symptoms, no statistical association was observed between the presence of fever (p = 0.889), nausea (p = 0.924), vomiting (p = 0.074) and pain in the lower right quadrant in relation to the conversion of medical management to surgical. Regarding comorbidities, it is observed that diabetes mellitus (p = 0.083), dyslipidemia, arterial hypertension (p = 0.952) and pneumopathy (p = 0.103) are not related to the conversion from medical to surgical management. In contrast, sex, the presence of a palpable mass, appendicular abscess, intestinal obstruction and signs and symptoms of sepsis, and self-medication showed a statistically significant association with the conversion from medical to surgical management (p <0.05).
