STUDY OF PROGNOSTIC FACTORS IN PERFORATIVE PERITONITIS
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 30
Abstract
This is a prospective hospital based study conducted in our hospital from June 2008 to July 2010 involving a total of 50 patients with perforative peritonitis. Prognostic factors and the validity of scoring systems were analyzed. Age over 50, longer duration of perforation, presence of shock on day one, extent of peritoneal contamination and associated medical illness adversely affect prognosis. Enteric and duodenal perforations carry a higher mortality. Both MPI and Sepsis Score accurately predicted mortality and morbidity rates.
