Abstract
Perforation peritonitis is the one of the commonest emergency encountered by surgeons. physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) scores has been developed, which would help to identify those patients who are at increased risk of developing complications and deaths. This scoring system is based on 12 physiological characteristics of patient and 6 characteristics of the surgery performed. The aim of this paper is to predict the prognosis in patients of perforation peritonitis using Possum scoring system in a tertiary care hospital in Warangal. Material and Methods: This study was done in Department of surgery at Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Warangal, from January 2016 to December 2016 on 50 patients. Results: The differences in quantitative variables between groups were assessed by means of the unpaired t test. A p-value of < 0.05 using a two-tailed test was taken for its significance in all statistical tests. Conclusions: This study confirms that POSSUM can be used as a reliable tool for estimating in-hospital mortality and for knowing the prognosis.
