[Individual prognosis of severity of postoperative period and outcome of general peritonitis].
Evaluation of severity according to SAPS scale and examination of dynamics of middle molecules in blood plasma (MCMn) were carried out in 167 patients with different surgical diseases complicated with general peritonitis. It is demonstrated that level of MCMn compared with SAPS scale data is objective index of endotoxicosis, severity of general peritonitis, and it can be regarded as criterion of prognosis of disease outcome. Dynamic assessment of MCMn level has the most diagnostic importance in groups of patients with 5 - 12 scores according to SAPS scale. Prognostic value of this index is small when infectious-toxic shock occurs.
