The outcome of 27 severely ill patients with intra-abdominal sepsis admitted to I.C.U. was studied. The APACHE II score was done on admission, at 24 hours and at 48 hours. It proved to be an accurate predictor of hospital survival in this group of patients and implications for management are discussed.
