Comparative study of left colonic Peritonitis Severity Score and Mannheim Peritonitis Index

Abstract

The PSS and MPI are both well validated scoring systems for left colonic peritonitis. Their routine use might allow stratification of patients according to mortality risk.

Evaluation of Mannheim Peritonitis Index (Mpi) Scoring System in Prognosis of Patients With Peritonitis Due to Hollow Viscous Perforation

“…These values are comparable to the studies by F. Ntirenganya et al 12 Biondo et al 13 Billing et al 9 Biondo et al 13 reported a predictive power of 0.725 at an MPI score of 26 points, while Billing et al 9 in a meta-analysis of 2003 patients reported a mean sensitivity of 86% (54%-98%) and specificity of 74% (58%-97%) at a score of 26 points. In a study at KNH, Ndonga.…”

Analysis of Mannheim peritonitis index scoring in predicting outcome in patients with peritonitis secondary to hollow viscous perforation

“…21 In our study the predictive power of mortality at MPI score of 29 was 0.945 with sensitivity of 87.21% (range 78.27-93.44) and specificity of 78.57.8% (range 49.20% to 95.34%). Various studies show overall mortality rates ranging from 6% to 42%.…”

Mannheim Peritonitis Index (MPI) and elderly population: prognostic evaluation in acute secondary peritonitis

“…In MPI are taken into account 8 variables: age, sex, organ failure, diagnosis of carcinoma, preoperative duration of peritonitis, origin of sepsis, peritonitis extension, characteristics of exudate (14,15).…”
