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 perforation is the commonest surgical emergencies in India. Recent emergency surgical procedures show an increasing trend in peptic ulcer perforation surgery in young adults. This study is carried out with an aim to understand the trend, causation and complications of peptic ulcer perforation in young Indians.Methods: A prospective observational study of young adult Indian patients operated for emergency peptic ulcer perforation for a 3 years period from January 2014 to January 2017 was carried out. The incidence, causative factors and the complications were analyzed.Results: In study of 150 patients, maximum incidence of 42.85% was seen in age group of 21 to 30 years that is young adults. 80% of them were males. 59% patients had blood group O. Association with smoking and alcoholism was seen in about 64% and 66.6% respectively. In about 13.33% there was an association seen with history of NSAID / steroid ingestion / treatment with proton pump inhibitors or H2antagonists.The duodenal perforation was found in 84.66%. In 90% the perforation was less than 1cm.Wound infection was the commonest complication among all patients. Mortality was seen in 3.33%.Conclusions: Peptic ulcer perforation shows increasing incidence in young adult males. The increased incidence shows association to smoking, alcoholism, irregular food habits, use of NSAIDS/steroids and overall stressed lifestyle.

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: 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. Aim: 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.
