A new prognostic scale for acute peritonitis

Abstract

An important component of the treatment of acute peritonitis is the ability to prognose adequately the possibility of postoperative complications, which allows to use appropriate preventive measures. For the mentioned case, numerous methods, based on the account of various parameters, have been developed. But none of them has been fully accepted, due to several reasons, including a large number of parameters that determine the complexity of use, low informative methods based on a small number of criteria, etc. We should notice that the vast majority of prognostic scales allows to determine postoperative complications risk only after the operation. This reasons the limit of the applicability of preventive measures during the preoperative preparation.
