System for evaluation of condition of patients with sepsis of abdominal origin

Abstract

The authors have evaluated the severity of state and relative risk of death for 100 patients with the sepsis of abdominal origin, taking account of the offered method how to define the severity and risk of death. For each patient, at the time of hospital admission and during the case follow-up and treatment, they have defined clinical, intraoperational, and lab values. According to the method offered by the authors, the relative probability of death and the severity of state were assessed. Clinical approbation of this method based upon 50 cases showed that the state of all patients with biliary sepsis might be referred to II-III severity level, while the relative risk of death was 60.7±2.5 %. For the other forms of sepsis of abdominal origin, the severity of state referred to I-II severity level, and the relative risk of death was 41.3±2.7 %.
