Efficacy of Mannheim Peritonitis Index in predicting mortality among patients with peritonitis: a cross-sectional study

Abstract

Peritonitis is a life-threatening condition necessitating immediate medical attention, with early recognition and appropriate management crucial for improving outcomes. The Mannheim Peritonitis Index (MPI) serves as a widely used scoring system for predicting severity and mortality risk in peritonitis. However, its efficacy in predicting mortality warrants further investigation. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of MPI in predicting mortality among peritonitis patients.
