Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Even with invent of modern medicine along with the use of sophisticated surgical and critical care instruments, peptic ulcer perforation continues to be a major surgical problem. In the present study, a simple scoring system, the Boey’s score was evaluated in determining the associated risk factor along with to determine the predictability of the score for morbidity and mortality associated with peptic ulcer perforation. Altogether 39 patients meeting the inclusion criteria were incorporated in the study conducted at Patna Medical College and Hospital between July 2016 and June 2017. A higher incidence of morbidity along with significantly prolonged hospital stay was observed in patients with Boey’s score of 2 and 3. The mortality rate was also found to be significantly higher in patients with higher Boey’s score. For Boey’s score 0, 1, 2 and 3 the mortality rate was found to be 0%, 12.5%, 33.33% and 66.67% respectively. Considering the simple scoring system based on easily obtained parameters at the time of admission, Boey’s score can be helpful in prediction of postoperative morbidity and mortality in case of perforated peptic ulcers.
