Severity of Illness in Intra-abdominal Infection
Archives of Surgery, 1985The severity of illness in 58 surgical patients with high-grade intra-abdominal infection was measured with two methods, an acute physiology score and a septic severity score. Both methods are the summed weight of derangements in physiologic factors representing the function of the major organ systems of the body. Sixteen patients died (28%).
