This worldwide multicentre observational study included 153 surgical departments across 56 countries over a 4-month study period between February 1, 2018, and May 31, 2018.
A total of 3137 patients were included, with 1815 (57.9%) men and 1322 (42.1%) women, with a median age of 47 years (interquartile range [IQR] 28-66). The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 8.9%, with a median length of stay of 6 days (IQR 4-10). Using multivariable logistic regression, independent variables associated with in-hospital mortality were identified: age > 80 years, malignancy, severe cardiovascular disease, severe chronic kidney disease, respiratory rate ≥ 22 breaths/min, systolic blood pressure < 100 mmHg, AVPU responsiveness scale (voice and unresponsive), blood oxygen saturation level (SpO2) < 90% in air, platelet count < 50,000 cells/mm3, and lactate > 4 mmol/l. These variables were used to create the PIPAS Severity Score, a bedside early warning score for patients with acute peritonitis. The overall mortality was 2.9% for patients who had scores of 0-1, 22.7% for those who had scores of 2-3, 46.8% for those who had scores of 4-5, and 86.7% for those who have scores of 7-8.
The simple PIPAS Severity Score can be used on a global level and can help clinicians to identify patients at high risk for treatment failure and mortality.
这项全球多中心观察性研究在2018年2月1日至2018年5月31日的4个月研究期间,包括56个国家的153个外科部门。
共纳入3137名患者,1815名(57.9%)男性和1322名(42.1%)女性,年龄中位数为47岁(四分位间距[IQR]28-66)。整体住院死亡率为8.9%,中位住院时间为6天(IQR4-10)。使用多变量逻辑回归,确定了与住院死亡率相关的独立变量:年龄>80岁,恶性肿瘤,严重的心血管疾病,严重的慢性肾病,呼吸频率≥22次呼吸/分钟,收缩压<100mmHg,AVPU响应量表(语音和无响应),空气中血氧饱和度(SpO2)<90%,血小板计数<50,000个细胞/mm3,乳酸>4mmol/l。这些变量用于创建PIPAS严重性评分,急性腹膜炎患者的床边预警评分。0-1分患者的总死亡率为2.9%,2-3分患者的总死亡率为22.7%,4-5分患者的总死亡率为46.8%,7-8分患者的总死亡率为86.7%。
简单的PIPAS严重程度评分可以在全球范围内使用,可以帮助临床医生识别治疗失败和死亡的高风险患者。
