Reoperation-associated mortality in severe peritonitis warrants selective surgical decisions; hypothesis-generating and requires RCTs to clarify causality.
Observational (n=239)
Open-label
Absolute Event Rate: 42% vs 27%
Nicolas V. Christou (1993) conducted an observational in severe peritonitis (n=239). reoperation vs. no reoperation was evaluated on mortality. Reoperation in patients with severe peritonitis had a 42% mortality rate versus 27% without reoperation, with high APACHE II score, low albumin, and high NYHA class independently predicting death.
