Main pbkp_redictor scales of mortality associated with septic shock of abdominal origin in adults

Abstract:

Background: sepsis is defined as a condition that causes organ dysfunction, the abdominal type is the second most frequent cause of admission to the intensive care unit, especially in countries with economic decline. Aim: to describe the efficiency of the main scales pbkp_redicting mortality in the evaluation of septic shock of abdominal origin in adults. Method: literature review using Scopus, Pubmed and Cochrane databases. Results: the research describes the efficacy of mortality pbkp_redictor scales through 8 articles, mainly Sequential Organ Failure Assessment and Acute Physiology Assessment System and Chronic Health Assessment over others described in adult patients with septic shock of abdominal origin, demonstrating a great benefit of their use on mortality pbkp_rediction. Conclusions: the scales that pbkp_redict mortality with the greatest pbkp_redictive value include APACHE II and SOFA, although other systems such as SAPS II, MEWS, NEWS are also very significant with respect to pbkp_rediction, and this will depend on the patient’s situation and comorbidities. The need for a scale that includes gastrointestinal criteria to facilitate the diagnosis and timely approach to septic shock of abdominal origin, including gastrointestinal signs and symptoms, will be more effective in pbkp_redicting mortality.
