Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 11
Abstract
Peritonitis is an inflammatory response of peritoneum to different stimuli caused by bacteria. It can also be fungal or chemical. Secondary peritonitis is due to spillage of gastrointestinal or genitourinary organisms in to peritoneal cavity due to breech in the mucosal barrier. Contamination lead to cascade of infection sepsis and multi organ dysfunction and death if not appropriately intervened. In India gastroduodenal perforation is the leading cause. Despite the understanding of pathophysiology, invention of broad spectrum antibiotics, surgical treatment, highly equipped surgical intensive care units mortality rate is quite high. Even though there are several scoring systems are in place, mannheim peritonitis index is more practical and less time consuming than others. Hence effort was made to analyse various factors in predicting the prognosis of perforative peritonitis using Mannheim peritonitis index
