Acute generalised peritonitis (AGP) is a common and serious digestive surgery pathology. Undernutrition exacerbates patient condition and compromises their postoperative prognosis. Early enteral nutrition is recommended to reduce postoperative complications, but its availability and cost are problematic in low-income countries. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of providing early enteral feeding (EEF) to postoperative patients with intestinal perforation AGP using a locally prepared protein-energy food ration in two hospitals in Bukavu, a city of South Kivu, in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Methods. A prospective, randomised controlled trial with two groups of patients was conducted to investigate the effects of EEF with a local mixture versus enteral feeding after peristalsis had returned (control group) in patients who underwent laparotomy for AGP caused by ileal perforation. The local mixture consisted of soybean, maize, white rice, and pineapple. The trial included 66 patients with ileal perforation peritonitis. Results. The results comparing early enteral fed and nonfed patients showed significant differences in peristalsis recovery time (2.1 (0.6) days vs. 3.8 (1.2) days, <jats:inline-formula>\n                     <a:math xmlns:a=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\">\n                        <a:mi>p<\/a:mi>\n                        <a:mo>&lt;<\/a:mo>\n                        <a:mn>0.0001<\/a:mn>\n                     <\/a:math>\n                  <\/jats:inline-formula>) and length of hospital stay (25.5 (14.9) days vs. 39.4 (25.3) days, <jats:inline-formula>\n                     <c:math xmlns:c=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M2\">\n                        <c:mi>p<\/c:mi>\n                        <c:mo>=<\/c:mo>\n                        <c:mn>0.0046<\/c:mn>\n                     <\/c:math>\n                  <\/jats:inline-formula>).

Moreover, EEF reduced malnutrition (<jats:inline-formula>\n                     <q:math xmlns:q=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M9\">\n                        <q:mi>p<\/q:mi>\n                        <q:mo>=<\/q:mo>\n                        <q:mn>0.0039<\/q:mn>\n                     <\/q:math>\n                  <\/jats:inline-formula>) with an ORa of 0.1 and a 95% CI of 0-0.4. Conclusion. EEF with locally sourced protein-energy rations can enhance a patient\u2019s nutritional status and facilitate postoperative recovery. This procedure is advantageous and involved early enteral nutrition using locally manufactured rations, especially for those operated on for acute generalised peritonitis in the Democratic Republic of Congo.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2023\/1764242","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,17]],"date-time":"2023-11-17T19:05:08Z","timestamp":1700247908000},"page":"1-9","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Benefits of Early Enteral Feeding with a Locally Prepared Protein-Energy Ration after Surgery for Acute Generalised Peritonitis: A Randomised Trial in Two Hospitals in Bukavu, Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2023","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9434-8512","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jean Paul Buhendwa","family":"Cikwanine","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Evangelical University in Africa, Bukavu, Democratic Republic of the Congo"},{"name":"Panzi Hospital, Bukavu, Democratic Republic of the Congo"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jonathan Tunangoya","family":"Yoyu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Centre for Advanced Research and Training, Bukavu, Democratic Republic of the Congo"},{"name":"Progressive Medical Systems\/Department of Works and Medical Research, Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D\u00e9sir\u00e9 Munyali","family":"Alumeti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Evangelical University in Africa, Bukavu, Democratic Republic of the Congo"},{"name":"Panzi Hospital, Bukavu, Democratic Republic of the Congo"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bernard","family":"Mugisho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rau Ciriri Hospital, Bukavu, Democratic Republic of the Congo"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3352-9042","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"John Mutendela","family":"Kivukuto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MDA, Savigny-Sur-Orge, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rivain Fefe","family":"Iteke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Lubumbashi, Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of the Congo"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ona","family":"Longombe Ahuka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Evangelical University in Africa, Bukavu, Democratic Republic of the Congo"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of Kisangani, Democratic Republic of the Congo"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Willy","family":"Kalau Arung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Lubumbashi, Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of the Congo"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","first-page":"103","article-title":"Peritonitis in the tropics: special aetiological features and current prognostic factors: a review of 160 cases","volume":"48","author":"Y.
