Re-evaluation of Mannheim prognostic index in perforative peritonitis: Prognostic role of advanced age. A prospective cohort study

“…and mortality[ 29 - 31 ]. Finally, we did not find that age influenced mortality, but the population we studied was older than that of other studies[ 15 , 32 , 33 ]. Controversies exist regarding age as a risk factor for mortality in ICUs, and factors other than age itself, such as previous comorbidities and/or frailty, may have a better prognostic significance[ 34 , 35 ].…”

“…For all IAIs, the presence of sepsis or septic shock is a generic prognostic feature and defines a disease process that has become systemic, rather than a localized disease process. Several disease specific scores exist for various organ-related IAIs (appendicitis, diverticulitis, perforated ulcers) [49][50][51][52], for which none have good accuracy, prediction ability, nor validity and generalizability.…”
