FMD and HV were measured preoperatively, postoperatively and at 24 and 48 h post-surgery. Adult patients undergoing elective laparotomy served as the control group. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Baseline and BAR parameters were compared between survivors and non-survivors. Risk factors for mortality were identified by univariate analysis. Prognostic performances of BAR parameters were assessed by different models using logistic regression. All statistical analyses were performed on STATA version 13 for Mac OS.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Seventy-six emergency laparotomy patients were recruited, and 26 died during the hospital stay. FMD and HV were comparable at all time points between survivors and non-survivors, except that HV was higher in survivors at 48 h post-surgery (median [interquartile range] 1.28 [1.16\u20131.49] vs. 1.16 [0.86\u20131.35],\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.010]. HV at 48 h predicted mortality (adjusted odds ratio [OR] [95% confidence interval] 21.05 [1.04\u2013422.43],\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.046), and a model consisting of age, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) score and HV at 48 h was the best predictor of mortality (area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve 0.82).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n HV, as measured by ultrasonography of the brachial artery at 48 h postoperatively, is a good predictor of mortality in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy for perforation peritonitis.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ija.ija_625_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,14]],"date-time":"2023-10-14T16:00:28Z","timestamp":1697299228000},"page":"905-912","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Ultrasonographic assessment of brachial artery reactivity as a predictor of adverse outcome in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy for perforated peritonitis \u2013 Prospective observational study"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"67","author":[{"given":"Rajathadri Hosur","family":"Ravikumar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Anesthesiology, Pain Medicine and Critical Care, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Souvik","family":"Maitra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Anesthesiology, Pain Medicine and Critical Care, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mrudula","family":"Prasanna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Anesthesiology, Pain Medicine and Critical Care, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rahul K.","family":"Anand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Anesthesiology, Pain Medicine and Critical Care, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Virinder K.","family":"Bansal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surgical Disciplines, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dalim K.","family":"Baidya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Anesthesiology, Pain Medicine and Critical Care, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20240902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"157","DOI":"10.4103\/0972-5229.84897","article-title":"Preoperative predictors of mortality in adult patients with perforation peritonitis","volume":"15","author":"Singh","year":"2011","journal-title":"Indian J Crit Care Med"},{"key":"R2-20240902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"37","DOI":"10.1001\/archsurg.1996.01430130039007","article-title":"Development of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in critically ill patients with perforated viscus.
