Simple scoring system for prediction of mortality in Fournier's gangrene
Purpose:
To create new scoring system for prediction of hospital mortality for patients with Fournier's gangrene(FG).
Material And Method:
In total, 84 patients with FG were enrolled into this study. The demographic and clinical characteristics of patients were analyzed retrospectively.
Results:
The mortality rate was 11.9 %. On multivariate analyses, age >60 years, BUN >40 mg/dl, RDW >14.95 %, albumin level <20 mg/dl and presence of sepsis were significant and independent predictors of mortality. The predictive value of our score for mortality was 95.1 %.
Conclusion:
Our scoring system shows adequate discriminatory function for prediction of mortality in patients with FG. Further larger scale studies can improve the performance of our score.
