Clinical Predictors of Ongoing Infection in Secondary Peritonitis: Systematic Review
2006
Introduction
The decision to perform a relaparotomy in patients with secondary peritonitis is based on “clinical judgment” with inherent variability among surgeons. Our objective was to review the literature on prognostic variables for ongoing abdominal infection. Predictive variables for positive findings at relaparotomy can generate more objective criteria to support the decision whether to perform a relaparotomy in patients with secondary peritonitis.
