Background: Gastrointestinal tract perforation is one of the common surgical emergency all over the world. Menekse et al devised POMPP score (predictive score of mortality in perforated peptic ulcer) to predict the morbidity and mortality in peptic ulcer perforation. The objective of this study was to assess the validity of POMPP score in peptic ulcer perforation and to assess its usefulness in gastrointestinal perforation due to causes other than the peptic ulcer.Methods: Fifty consecutive cases, who had undergone exploratory laparotomy for gastrointestinal perforation peritonitis, were included in the study. “These patients were assessed at the time of admission on the basis of Age >65 years, BUN >45mg/dl (Blood Urea Nitrogen) and Albumin <1.5g/L and a score of 1 point each had been given”. The total score was compared with the outcome of the disease in relation with mortality.Results: In our study, 42% of gastrointestinal perforation were due to peptic ulcer, 22 % due to small bowel perforations (18% Ileal and 4 % Jejunal), 14 % due to trauma and 22 % due to miscellaneous causes. Morbidity is common after gastrointestinal perforation and it ranges from 17-63% whereas mortality ranges from 6-14%.Conclusions: POMPP score is easy and valid scoring system for peptic ulcer perforation. Early detection of high risk peptic perforation cases, allow other supportive treatment modality apart from surgery which can decrease the mortality. However, this score is not valid in perforation due to causes other than peptic ulcer.

Background: Perforated peptic ulcer is the most common cause among all causes of gastrointestinal tract perforation which is an emergency condition of the abdomen that requires early recognition and timely surgical management. Peptic ulcer perforation is associated significant morbidity and mortality. The aim of study is to evaluate the incidence, clinical presentation, management and outcomes of the patient with peptic ulcer perforation undergoing emergency laparotomy.Methods: This retrospective study includes 45 patients who were operated for perforated peptic ulcer peritonitis at Bundelkhand Medical College and Associated Hospital, Sagar from March 2015 to April 2017. Paediatric patients of age less than 14 years, patients presenting as recurrent perforation were excluded from the study. A detailed history, clinical presentation and routine investigations were done in all cases.Results: In the present study, most of the patients were male. Most of these patients presents with clinical signs of peritonitis between 24-48 hours after onset of the pain. Among the patients of peptic ulcer perforation, duodenal perforation (93.3%) is more common and which is the most common cause of perforation peritonitis. The diagnosis is made clinically and confirmed by presence of gas under diaphragm on radiograph. Exploratory laparotomy with simple closure of perforation with omental patch was done in all cases. The most common post-operative complication was wound infection (57.5%). The overall mortality was 11.1%.Conclusions: Late presentation of peptic ulcer perforation is common with high morbidity and mortality. Surgical intervention with Graham’s omentopexy with broad spectrum antibiotics is still commonly practiced.

Background: Peptic ulcer formation affects about 2-10% of world population every year with higher incidence in younger individuals. Being a surgical emergency, it has higher mortality and morbidity. Thus, the aim of our study was to evaluate the incidence of peptic ulcer perforation based on gender, age and also to study its associated risk factors, clinical presentations, site along with surgical management and complications. Materials & Methods: 75 patients diagnosed with perforated peptic ulcer were included and this study was conducted in the Upgraded Department of Surgery, Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, Laheriasarai, Bihar. Structured performa was prepared to obtained details of patients. Results: 76% of patients in our study were males and 24% were females with male and female ratio 1:3.16. The prevalence of perforation was high in age group 20-30 years (30.7%). 62.7% of cases had positive family history and the incidence was in the patients who consumed non-vegetarian (84.8%), spicy (61.4%) and oily (69.5%) foods. Frequently observed clinical presentation were abdominal pain followed by tenderness and rigidity and gas under diaphragm. The common site of perforation was duodenum (62.7%) and most of the cases were treated by closure with omental patch (81.3%). The post-surgical complications frequently observed were wound infection (30.6%) and chest infection (28%). Conclusion: Peptic ulcer perforation is common disorder of gastrointestinal tract, now affecting younger adults with male preponderance. It is associated with unwanted health and economic issues. Therefore, earlier management is only the way to minimize complications and mortality

Background: Helicobacter pylori is found in more than 90% cases of peptic ulcer. This study examines the possibility of association of Helicobacter pylori in perforated peptic ulcer disease and its relation to persisting ulcer as well as the influence of other risk factors; namely: smoking, alcohol, current non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and steroid use. Materials and Methods: In this prospective study, total of 50 cases of peptic ulcer perforation admitted in College of Medical Sciences and Teaching Hospital, Bharatpur, Nepal were selected on the basis of the non-probability (purposive) sampling method. All patients who presented with suspected peptic ulcer perforation were included in the study and the perforations were repaired by Modified Graham’s Patch and were given triple therapy postoperatively. The age, sex, incidence, mode of presentation, precipitating factors, association with the risk factors and postoperative complications were all evaluated and compared. Results: Of 50 patients studied, the age ranged from 17 to 75 years, mean age being 40.1 years with the peak incidence in the 3rd and 5th decades of life showing a male dominance (92%). H. pylori was seen in ulcer edge biopsy in 29 patients (58%). Most common clinical presentation was pain abdomen, the most common signs of perforation were tenderness, rebound tenderness and absent bowel sounds. The mean duration of stay in hospital in H. pylori positive patients was 12.07±8.15 days as compared with 11.1±5.12 days in H. pylori negative patients. The incidence of peptic ulcer perforation was higher in the patients consuming alcohol (64%) than smokers (48%), followed by NSAIDs user(22%). 20% of the patients with delayed presentation developed complications postoperatively. Perforated peptic ulcer was repaired by Modified Graham’s Patch Repair, followed by anti H. pylori therapy in all of them. Conclusion: Peptic ulcer perforation is quite common among the patients with peptic ulcer disease with history of chronic smoking, alcoholism and analgesic intake, more commonly in males. There is association of H. pylori in 58% of patients with peptic ulcer perforation.

Background: Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) results from an imbalance between stomach acid-pepsin and mucosal defense barriers. It affects 4 million people worldwide annually. Peptic ulcer perforation is one of the most common surgical emergencies and is associated with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. This is due to presence of various risk factors among the population like H. pylori infection, long term NSAID use, alcohol ingestion, smoking and steroid use. Peptic ulcer perforation peritonitis usually requires an emergency surgical intervention and hence the need for this study, to compare POMPP and Boey scores as predictors of morbidity and mortality in patients with peptic perforation peritonitis.Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in the hospitals attached to Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute from November 2018 to May 2020. All patients above 18 years with features of hollow viscus perforation with per-operative finding of perforated peptic ulcer were included in the study. Patients with histopathology suggestive of malignancy were excluded.Results: A total of 65 patients were included in the study. On analysis of the data by Chi-square test, P value of both POMPP and Boey scores was found to be <0.05 which is statistically significant. The most important predictive factors of mortality and morbidity were duration of perforation >24 hours, age >65 years and pre-operative shock.Conclusions: Both scoring systems are easy to use and can assist in accurate and early identification of high-risk patients and are important in predicting mortality and morbidity in patients with peptic ulcer perforation.

Introduction: Peptic ulcer perforation carries high mortality and morbidity. Boey’s score is shown to be a simple scoring system to help predict morbidity and mortality. This is a prospective observational study to evaluate the applicability of Boey’s score in predicting mortality and morbidity in Nepalese patients. Methods: This study was conducted in the Dept. of Surgery, Nepal Medical College and Teaching Hospital (NMCTH), Attarkhel, Jorpati between 1st of July 2012 to 30th June 2019 over a period of 7 years. This was a prospective observational study. All patients who underwent laparotomy for suspected peptic ulcer perforation peritonitis were included in the study. Results: Fourty-seven patients were included in the study. Male patients outnumbered females by a ratio of almost 4:1. Eighteen (38%) patients had Boey’s score of 1, and 7 (15 %) patients had a Boey’s score of 3. Overall postoperative mortality was 7 (15%). Boey’s score predicted morbidity and mortality with a p-value of <0.01. The length of hospital stay was also more in patients with a higher score and it was statistically significant. Conclusions: Boey’s score is both easy and effective in predicting postoperative morbidity, mortality and length of hospital stay.

Background: Perforated peptic ulcer (PPU) is one of the most common non-traumatic emergency cases in the emergency unit, and have a high mortality rate, more than 70% in the elderly. Accurate and early identification of high-risk surgical patients with PPU is important for triage and risk stratification. The objective of this study was to evaluate the mortality in patients with operated PPU.Methods: Between January 2015 to December 2016, 50 consecutive patients with PPU who performed laparotomy were studied retrospectively. This study was a diagnostic test to evaluate the validity of PULP (Peptic Ulcer Perforation) score to predict mortality in patient with operated PPU and determine the best cut-off point. Presentation ≥ or < 24 hours, age of 65 years old, the presence of preoperative shock, ASA score, the presence of AIDS or active malignancy, liver failure, concomitant use of steroids and serum creatinine > 14.7 g/dL were evaluated in PULP score.Results: The cut-off point for PULP the score in the present study is > 7, based on the optimal cut-off value, patients could be divided into low-risk patients (a score of < 7 points), and high-risk patients (a score of > 7 points). PULP score had 91.7% sensitivity, 65.4% specificity, and 78% accuracy in this study. Positive predictive value and negative predictive the values were 71% and 89.9%.Conclusion: The PULP score is sensitive to predict the mortality risk in patients operated for perforated peptic ulcer and can assist in risk stratification and triage.
