Bosscha et al developed a model for predicting mortality in a patient with peritonitis. This can help to identify a patient who may benefit from more aggressive management. The authors are from University Hospital of Utrecht in The Netherlands.


 

Patient selection: peritonitis

 

Parameters:

(1) APACHE II score within 24 hours of ICU admission

(2) MPI within first 24 hours of ICU admission

Interpretation:

• minimum score: 0

• maximum score: 2

• The higher the score the higher the mortality rate.
