Abstract

113 patients suffering from purulent peritonitis entered this retrospective study for evaluation of the prognostic value of the Mannheim Peritonitis-Index. There was no lethality below an index x = 21, between x = 21 and x = 29, it was 29% and lethality increased to 100% in patients with an index x greater than or equal to 30. Statistical validation showed that prognosis was correct in 93% for the index x = 27, with a sensitivity and specificity of also 93%. Between x = 21 and x = 29 prognosis of the MPI was correct in at least 65%. The MPI is shown as a prognostic index for peritonitis with high accuracy in individual prognosis, that could be easy routinely documented.
