PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between admission and postoperative platelet count (PC) and mortality and morbidity rates after emergency surgery for @entity1755 ( @entity1028 ). METHODS: We performed a case record review of 65 consecutive @entity1 admitted with @entity1755 . RESULTS: Five @entity1 did not undergo operation because of poor clinical condition, 12 @entity1 died at operation, 13 @entity1 died after operation, and 35 @entity1 survived (operative mortality rate of 58%). Fifteen @entity1 had an admission PC of less than 150 x 10(9)/L, of whom 14 (93%) died; 27 @entity1 had an admission PC of 150 to 250 x 10(9)/L, of whom 8 (30%) died; and 18 @entity1 had an admission PC of greater than 250 x 10(9)/L of whom 3 (17%) died. At the end of operation 29 @entity1 had a PC of less than 100 x 10(9)/L, of whom 13 (45%) died, 20 (69%) had development of @entity177 ( @entity177 ), and 6 (21%) required relaparotomy for @entity548 complications. By contrast, all 19 @entity1 having a PC of 100 x 10(9)/L or greater at the end of the operation survived, three (16%) had development of @entity177 , and none required further surgery for @entity548 . There was a significant inverse correlation between PC at the end of the operation and the number of postoperative days spent on a ventilator, in the intensive therapy unit, and in hospital. After operation, 15 @entity1 had development of @entity1148 (PC > 400 x 10(9)/L), of whom 10 had development of @entity1150 and 8 had development of @entity1151 . There were no deep @entity1150 or @entity1151 in @entity1 who did not have development of a postoperative @entity1148 . CONCLUSIONS: There is a direct correlation between PC on admission to the hospital and @entity204 after emergency repair of @entity1755 . @entity882 at the end of the operation is associated with a high risk of morbidity from continuing @entity548 or @entity177 . The development of postoperative @entity1148 is associated with a high risk of @entity1031 complications. PC provides a simple marker of outcome in @entity1 diagnosed with and undergoing operation for @entity1755 .
