Background: The mortality of perforation peritonitis is highly dependent on early approach to the hospital, quick diagnosis and prompt surgical treatment as it correlates with the duration and degree of peritoneal contamination, the patient's age, the general health of the patient and the nature of the underlying aetiology. The present study was done to assess the role of various prognostic factors which have a bearing on the final outcome of the patients.Methods: This prospective observational cross-sectional study was conducted in the at a tertiary level hospital in Maharashtra, in which 47 patients who presented a surgical emergency of perforation peritonitis and underwent an exploratory laparotomy were included. We compared different variables between patients who survived and those who died. Results: High mortality was also found in patients who presented after 24 hours of developing symptoms. Ileal perforation was significantly more common among dead patients (50%) as compared to patients who survived (20%), p-value<0.05. There were significantly higher proportion of patients who had shock on day 1 who died (67%) as compared to those who survived (12%), p-value<0.05. Also, the group of patients who died, had significantly higher MPI (p-value<0.01), higher proportion of patients with multiple perforations (p-value<0.05), larger perforations (p-value<0.01) and contamination more than 1000 ml (p-value<0.05).  Conclusions: High mortality was observed in patients who presented late, had ileal perforations, multiple and large perforation and developed shock on day one.

Objectives: To determine the serum calcium levels in mild and severe preeclampsia and compare it with normal pregnancy. Methods: It was a comparative cross sectional study. Thirty five normotensive pregnant women, n=30 women with mild preeclampsia and n=70 with severe preeclampsia were recruited at Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences, Hospital. The serum calcium was measured and levels were compared among three groups. The data was analysed on SPSS v. 20. Results: The gestational age was more in the normal pregnancy compared to mild and severe preeclampsia (38.7±2.1 vs 36.7±3.6 and 36.2±2.8, p-value=0.0002). The calcium concentration was less in the both groups of preeclampsia i.e., 8.41± 0.96 mg/dl in mild and 8.02± 0.77 mg/dl in severe preeclampsia vs 9.2± 0.32 mg/dl in normal pregnant women, (p-value <0.001). Conclusion: We found lower levels of serum calcium in preeclampsia, suggesting its possible role in pathogenesis. Further studies to investigate the potential role of dietary supplementation of micronutrients during pregnancy are recommended.
