Summary

To assess the accuracy of Emergency Surgery Score in predicting postoperative morbidity and mortality in emergency laparotomy.

Detailed description

Emergency laparotomy is the most common emergency surgery which considered a life saving exploratory procedure for which the clinical presentation, underlying pathology, anatomical site of surgery, and preoperative management vary considerably. There are more than 400 OPCS codes describing surgery that could come under the umbrella term of 'emergency laparotomy' which reflect the diverse nature of this surgical cohort. In spite the lack of data on the outcomes of emergency laparotomies it is generally considered very poor mortality rates following emergency laparotomy Internationally reported range from 13% to 18% at 30 days Even after innumerable advances in surgical skills, antimicrobial agents and supportive care. There is a need for early prognostic evaluation of these individuals to identify patients in high risk for more agressive treatment Using an ideal scoring system will help in ;.making appropriate decision on those patients. accurately predicting the risk of developing serious complications or die . Categorizing patients into different risk groups which would help to prognosticate the outcome, select patients for intensive care and determine operative risk, thereby helping to choose the nature of the operative procedure . The Emergency Surgery Score (ESS) was developed as a novel preoperative risk assessment tool for patients undergoing EGS in 2016 ESS accurately predicts outcomes in all types of emergent laparotomy patients and may prove valuable as a bedside decision-making tool for patient and family counseling, as well as for adequate risk-adjustment in emergent laparotomy quality benchmarking efforts.10
