TO STUDY THE ROLE OF MANNHEIM PERITONITIS INDEX SCORING SYSTEM IN PREDICTING THE MORTALITY AND MORBIDITY IN PERITONITIS DUE TO HOLLOW VISCOUS PERFORATION

Background: Hollow Viscus Perforation is characterized by loss of gastrointestinal wall integrity with leakage of enteric contents. To Study the Role of Mannheim Peritonitis Index (MPI) scoring system i Aim: n predicting the Mortality and Morbidity in peritonitis due to Hollow Viscus Perforation. This is a hospital Materials and Methods: based cross sectional study which was carried out at Department of General Surgery from November 2017 to October 2019 at Katuri Medical College and Hospital, Chinakondrupadu, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh. Mannheim Peritonitis Index score was used. Results: Mean age group of the patients was 52.35 ± 11.09. Majority of the patients i.e. 19(31.7%) were seen in 51 – 60 years age group. Among the 39(65%) male patients, majority were identied to be in 51-60 years. Among the 21(35%) Female patients, majority i.e. 8 patients were identied to be in 61-70 years. The present st Conclusion: udy suggests that Multiple attempts at developing a scoring system to predict the risk of mortality and morbidity in patients with peritonitis due to hollow viscus perforation undergoing emergency laparotomy. Most of the scoring systems cannot assess individual patient risk. MANNHEIM PERITONITIS INDEX scoring system is an easy and very useful tool for predicting the risk of morbidity and mortality in patients with peritonitis due to hollow viscus perforation.
