To determine whether hyperfibrinogenemia is a predictive factor for appendiceal perforation in patients with acute appendicitis seen at Hospital Belén de Trujillo during the period 2021 to 2023. Materials and methods: A retrospective, observational, analytical, case-control, retrospective study was carried out. The study population consisted of 168 patients diagnosed with acute appendicitis, 84 patients with appendiceal perforation (cases) and 84 patients without appendiceal perforation (controls). Results: The mean age of patients with appendiceal perforation was 37 ±12 years, and those without appendiceal perforation was 36 ± 12.7 years. Leukocytosis was statistically associated with appendiceal perforation (OR: 2.72, 95% CI 1.42-3.63, p=0.042), with leukocytosis representing a 2.72-fold increased risk of appendiceal perforation. Hyponatraemia was statistically associated with appendiceal perforation (OR: 4.23, 95%CI1.58-6.34, p=0.024), having hyponatraemia represents a 4.23-fold increased risk of appendiceal perforation. 80.9% had appendiceal perforation and hyperfibrinogenemia and only 19.1% had appendiceal perforation without hyperfibrinogenemia. Hyperfibrinogenemia is statistically associated with appendiceal perforation, patients with hyperfibrinogenemia have 4.12 times higher risk of having appendiceal perforation compared to patients without hyperfibrinogenemia (OR: 4.12, 95%CI 1.76-9.83 p=0.034). Conclusions: Hyperfibrinogenemia can be used as a predictor of appendiceal perforation.
