Introduction: Abdominal surgical emergencies have a high mortality rate. Effective management primarily relies on the early identification of patients at high risk of postoperative complications. The objective of our study was to determine the prognostic factors associated with poor outcomes from abdominal surgical emergencies in Senegal and to establish a predictive score for mortality for preoperative risk evaluation (NDAR (New Death Assessment Risk) score).

- - The Grand Magal of Touba (GMT) poses risks of infection for pilgrims, with a study conducted examining the circulation of resistant bacteria among attendees between 2018 and 2021.
- - Out of the pilgrims studied, 31.4% acquired pathogenic bacteria, predominantly Escherichia coli, and 36.2% gained resistance genes, indicating a concerning trend in antibiotic resistance.
- - The findings suggest that pilgrims are at increased risk for acquiring specific resistance genes, particularly CTX-M A, and highlight the need for future surveillance of resistant bacteria and related infections in such gatherings.
