Abstract
Despite advances in diagnosis, management and critical care of patients with peritonitis due to hollow viscus perforation and others, prognosis‐remain poor. Many prognostic systems have developed to increase evaluation, monitoring and care of the patients including specific adjustments to bring about successful surgical outcome thereby reducing the morbidity and mortality of patients. Aim of the study is to assess and predict morbidity and mortality among patients who got operated for peptic ulcer perforation. This study was a prospective cohort study in which 50 patients presenting with symptoms of peritonitis secondary to hollow viscus perforation in the Department of General Surgery, from August 2022 to November 2023 were taken for the study. The results were recorded and analysed with standard statistical tools. The Jabalpur score is a straightforward, yet powerful scoring system designed to predict mortality and morbidity in patients with peptic ulcer perforations. This system's simplicity allows for easy application in clinical settings, providing healthcare professionals with a reliable tool to assess patient prognosis and guide treatment decisions effectively.
