IGF2BP3 positivity in advanced thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is associated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients treated with surgery alone. IGF2BP3 positivity in advanced thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is associated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients treated with surgery alone. Improving surgical care in a resource-limited setting requires the optimization of operative capacity, especially at the district hospital level. We conducted an analysis of the acute care surgery registry at Salima District Hospital in Malawi from June 2018 to November 2019. We examined patient characteristics, interventions, and outcomes. Modified Poisson regression modeling was used to identify risk factors for transfer to a tertiary center and mortality of patients transferred to the tertiary center. Eight hundred eighty-eight patients were analyzed. The most common diagnosis was skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI) at 35.9%. 27.5% of patients were transferred to Salima District Hospital, primarily from health centers, with a third for a diagnosis of SSTI. Debridement of SSTI comprised 59% of performed procedures (n=241). Of the patients that required exploratory laparotomy, only 11 laparotomies were performed, with 59 patients transferred to a tertiary hospital. The need for laparotomy conferred an adjusted risk ratio (RR) of 10.1 (95% confidence interval [CI] 7.1, 14.3) for transfer to the central hospital. At the central hospital, for patients who needed urgent abdominal exploration, surgery had a 0.16 RR of mortality (95% CI 0.05, 0.50) while time to evaluation greater than 48h at the central hospital had a 2.81 RR of death (95% CI 1.19, 6.66). Despite available capacity, laparotomy was rarely p
