The mortality in the postoperative external gastrointestinal fistulas has been related to some factors among which the age of the patient, the flow, the localization, the number, the presence or not of associated sepsis and malnutrition stand out. The study of these variables in 110 patients with such fistulas showed by using the logistic regression model that death possibility was higher in the patients that presented sepsis (p = 0.001), in those that had a high flow (p = 0.016), and that it increased with age (p = 0.016). The localization in the jejunum was close to significance (p = 0.097)
