| dc.description.abstract | Abstract Introduction: Exploratory laparotomy is one of the commonest emergency procedure performed by general surgeons in daily practice. Due to heterogenisity of conditions required in exploratory laparotomy, the outcome is to variable. It is often difficult to predict outcome of such patients server scoring system are available to predict outcome to patients undergoing exploratory laparotomy for acute peritonitis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of Mannheim Peritonitis Index (MPI) score is predicting the outcome to patience you need exploratory laparotomy for acute peritonitis. Methods: This is our prospective analysis of 86 patients who underwent emergency exploratory laparotomy over past 2 years. The mean age of patient was 41 years and 29 (33.7%) were female. All the patients had presented to the emergency with features of peritonitis. Two patient presented with shock. Hollow viscus perforation was present in 37 patients, intestinal obstruction in 31 patients and 18 patients had various other pathologies. There were total 29 complication including 10 mortalities. The mean MPI score was 21.2 ± 8(4 – 39). There was significant correlation of MPI with mortality (p<0.05). Conclusion: the MPI score can provide simple and objective means to predict the outcome of patients with peritonitis. Keywords: Exploratory Laparotomy, MPI score, Outcome, Peritonitis | |
