Abstract

Digestive tract perforations or anastomotic dehiscence are the main causes of secondary acute peritonitis, in 80% of cases rapid surgical intervention combined with antibiotic therapy leads to a favorable prognosis. The Mannheim index represents a simple and inexpensive score used in acute peritonitis, which was originally derived from a study on 1253 patients with peritonitis treated between 1963 and 1979. Material and methods: We performed a retrospective study on 185 patients, hospitalized with the diagnosis of acute peritonitis who underwent surgery, in the general surgery clinic of the Emergency Clinical Hospital “Bagdasar-Arseni” Bucharest between 2016 and 2019. The patients were grouped into 4 risk groups according to the Mannheim index as follows: < 12, 12 - 20, 21 - 27, > 27. Results: A value of the Mannheim index below 12 was recorded in 75 patients with a mortality of 8%, values ​​between 12 and 20 were in 59 patients with a mortality of 13.55%, values ​​between 21 and 27 were in 40 patients with a mortality of 25% and a Mannheim index value above 27 were in 11 patients with a mortality of 63.63%. Conclusions: The Mannheim Index may be a useful predictor of progression, and further analysis may be beneficial to explore this relationship further.
