About this study
The study was aimed at determining the magnitude, types, and associated factors of external abdominal hernia among adult patients visiting the outpatient department at the Hiwot Fana Comprehensive Specialized Hospital (HFCSH) and Jugol regional hospital in eastern Ethiopia.
Read the detailed description
A cross-sectional study was carried out from September 20 to December 5, 2022, on adult patients who visited the surgical outpatient department at the Hiwotfana Comprehensive Specialized Hospital and Jugol Regional Hospital in Eastern Ethiopia. All adult patients who visited the surgical outpatient department of each hospital were enrolled in the study using a systematic random sampling technique with skipping intervals of two until the calculated sample size was obtained, which is 403. Data collection was accomplished through medical record reviews of patients and face-to-face interviews. The data were analyzed by the Statistical Package for Social Science version 26 software. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were conducted, and the results were presented in text, graphs, and tables. A Chi-square test was calculated, and an Odds ratio for the strength and directions of association was used with a 95% confidence interval and a P-value of <0.05 to be considered statistical. This investigation determined the overall magnitude of external abdominal wall hernias in the study area as well as the types of external abdominal hernias. At the conclusion of the investigation, each significant associated factor for an external abdominal hernia was identified.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of participants with external abdominal hernia
Hospital-based magnitudes of external abdominal hernias were studied depending on the identified number of patients with external abdominal hernias.
Measured: From September 20, 2022, to December 5, 2022
Types of external abdominal hernias
Measured: From September 20, 2022, to December 5, 2022
Associated factors of external abdominal hernias
The number of participants with external abdominal hernia who have any associated factor for hernia was identified, and the strength of association for each associated factor was determined by using bivariate and multivariate logistic regression studies.
Measured: From September 20, 2022, to December 5, 2022

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Abdominal Wall Hernia, run by Haramaya Unversity at 1 site in Ethiopia.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Ethiopia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of participants with external abdominal hernia (time frame: From September 20, 2022, to December 5, 2022). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05972707, which also lists 13 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Aug 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
