Aim:
The aim of this study was to assess whether the statistical determination of the outcomes of treatment of abdominal inflammation is possible.Materials and Methods: The sample size in this study consisted of 49 patients who underwent surgery due to abdominal inflammatory states. Data for six biochemical and two clinical parameters were collected for the purpose of constructing a prognostic scale designed by the authors.
Results:
The multi-dimensional space that resulted from the data collected was reduced to a three-dimensional model by analysis of 3 factors: inflammation, proteinic status and general risk. Firstly, all cases were categorized based on their respective composite Recovery Prediction Factor (SNC=62%, SPC=55%). Secondly, it was determined that two cases could not be categorized due to their dichotomic division based on factors 1, 2 and 3 (SNC=79%, SPC=95%). Lastly, based on its median origin dichotomic division (SNC=72%, SPC=84%), one case could not be categorized.Conclusion: It is possible to predict the outcomes of the treatment of abdominal inflammation, based on statistical factor analysis and a factor average prediction engine. However, some degree of uncertainty must be taken into account with respect to the probability that a given outcome may unfold in a given patient.
