Key result
P-POSSUM scoring accurately predicts morbidity and ~10% mortality in emergency GI surgeries.
Why the study?
Emergency gastrointestinal surgeries carry high mortality and morbidity risks that can be effectively managed if predicted early using accurate scoring systems like P-POSSUM.

Does the P-POSSUM scoring system accurately predict mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing emergency gastrointestinal surgery?
p-value: p=0.778 for morbidity; 1.000 for mortality
The P-POSSUM scoring system is an effective tool for predicting mortality and morbidity in emergency gastrointestinal surgeries.
Mundu et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Emergency gastrointestinal surgeries (n=50). P-POSSUM score was evaluated on Mortality and morbidity (p=0.778 for morbidity; 1.000 for mortality). The P-POSSUM scoring system accurately predicted outcomes in emergency GI surgeries, with observed morbidity of 54% (p=0.778) and mortality of 10% (p=1.000).
