Comparison of different scoring systems for predicting in-hospital mortality for patients with Fournier gangrene.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To compare different scoring systems for predicting in-hospital mortality in patients with Fournier gangrene (FG).

Methods

A comprehensive literature search was performed to find all scoring systems that have been proposed previously as a predictor for in-hospital mortality in patients with FG. Data of all patients with FG who were hospitalized in one of Indonesia's largest tertiary referral hospitals between 2012 and 2022 were used. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the scoring systems.

Results

Ten scoring systems were found, i.e., Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index (FGSI), Uludag FGSI, simplified FGSI, NUMUNE Fournier score (NFS), Laboratory Risk Indicator for Necrotizing Fascii
