  Background: Even though surgical peritonitis being one of the most common problem faced by surgeons in emergency, still the post-operative period of perforated peritonitis is unpredictable most of the times and it carries considerable morbidity and mortality. It therefore becomes necessary for a scoring system that predicts the post-operative period. There have been many scoring systems developed, including the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) for general risk prediction, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation III (APACHE III) for intensive care, and the Goldman Index for cardiac-related problems after surgery. In our study, we propose to use the modified POSSUM scoring to predicting the morbidity and mortality in perforated peritonitis. Methods: Patients presenting to MVJ Medical College and Research Hos..
