Summary

The purpose of this study is to apply and validate a clinicoradiological score for the prediction of severity of strangulated small bowel occlusion (SBO). This score was elaborated by analyzing clinical, biological and radiological parameters of patients admitted in an emergency center for acute strangulated SBO. Two clinical, two biological and two radiological parameters were shown to significantly predict the surgical outcome of SBO patients.

Since any delay in the management of SBO may result in devastating consequences, a score predicting the severity of the SBO episode is an essential tool for helping in the management of SBO patients. A prospective multicenter validation of the score is mandatory for its extended use.
