A Prospective Observational Study on the Diagnosis and Management of Non-Traumatic Abdominal Emergencies in a Tertiary Care Center

Early recognition and timely imaging are pivotal in the management of NTAEs. Individualized treatment based on imaging and clinical findings is essential. Conservative management remains appropriate for most cases; however, prompt surgical referral should be considered for patients who are older, male, or have severe pathology, as these are significantly associated with the need for surgical intervention. Strengthening diagnostic pathways and enhancing early triage protocols may further improve outcomes in tertiary care settings.
