Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the association of baseline lactate level, arterial pH and duration of symptoms with 7-day mortality in patients presenting with gastrointestinal perforation in the emergency department.Timepoint: 1.5 years—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To identify which of these variables (lactate level, arterial pH and duration of symptoms) are independent predictors of mortality. 2. To determine threshold values of serum lactate, arterial pH and duration of symptoms that are significantly associated with 7-day mortality. 3. To formulate a simple risk stratification tool for early triage, resuscitation and prognostication in the Emergency Department. Timepoint: 1.5 years—
