Prediction of mortality in secondary peritonitis: a prospective study comparing p-POSSUM, Mannheim Peritonitis Index, and Jabalpur Peritonitis Index
Authors' conclusion
p-POSSUM and Mannheim Peritonitis Index can be used to predict mortality in patients with secondary peritonitis. Jabalpur Peritonitis Index is not suited for this purpose.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with secondary peritonitis
- Participants
- 235 patients
- Exposure
- p-POSSUM vs MPI vs JPI
- Outcome
- Accuracy in predicting mortality (ROC curves, AUC)
