Area of Science:

  • Surgical outcomes research
  • Clinical prognostication
  • Gastrointestinal surgery

Background:

  • Complex prognostic scoring systems exist for abdominal sepsis.
  • A simplified scoring system for peptic perforation was developed for accessibility in developing nations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To construct and evaluate a simplified prognostic scoring system for peptic perforation.
  • To create a user-friendly tool for prognostication in resource-limited settings.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study of 140 patients with perforated pre-pyloric or duodenal ulcers undergoing Graham's patch omentopexy closure.
  • Development of the Jabalpur scoring system based on APACHE-II scoring principles and multiple regression analysis.
  • Prospective validation in 50 additional patients, with comparison to existing systems.

Main Results:

  • Key mortality factors identified: age, co-morbid illness, perforation-to-operation interval, preoperative shock, heart rate, and serum creatinine.
  • Mean Jabalpur score significantly differed between survivors (4.9) and non-survivors (12.5; p<0.0001).
  • The Jabalpur scoring system demonstrated favorable comparison with established prognostic tools.

Conclusions:

  • The Jabalpur scoring system is a validated and effective tool for prognostication in peptic perforation.
  • Its simplicity and reliance on routinely available clinical data make it highly practical, especially in developing countries.
