Perioperative clinical parameters associated with short-term mortality after colorectal perforation.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Although early prediction of mortality is useful for the management of patients with colorectal perforations, no significant perioperative predictive factors have been identified. The purpose of this study was to identify useful prognostic factors for patients with colorectal perforation.

Methods

This single-center retrospective study included consecutive patients undergoing emergency surgery for colorectal perforation from January 2012 to December 2019. The primary outcome was combined 30 day and in-hospital mortality. Patient- and disease-related factors obtained perioperatively were evaluated for mortality prediction. A scoring system was developed to enhance clinical utility.

Results

Overall, 146 patients were included and 20 (14%) died after surgery. Mult
