Early Operative Risk Assessment Using the Modified Mannheim Peritonitis Index in Patients With Generalised Peritonitis at a Tertiary Hospital in Abuja, Nigeria.

Introduction The use of validated prognostic scoring tools in resource-poor environments has been hampered by the cost of procuring and maintaining devices, such as arterial blood gas analysers, to measure critical physiological derangements. Attempts need to be made to adapt these applicable risk stratification tools so they can be easily adopted in developing countries like Nigeria.  Aim This study assessed the usefulness of a modified Mannheim peritonitis index (mMPI) as a risk stratification tool in predicting surgical outcomes in managing patients with generalised peritonitis in Abuja, Nigeria.

Correlation of Clinical, Endoscopic, and Pathological Findings among Suspected Peptic Ulcer Disease Patients in Abuja, Nigeria.

Background: Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) remains one of the most prevalent gastrointestinal diseases and has been linked to () infection. This condition may be suspected on clinical grounds, but diagnosis is established using upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.

Aims: To determine the correlation between the endoscopic and pathological findings among suspected PUD patients who have been referred for diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in National Hospital Abuja.
