Popis: Introduction: Hollow viscus perforation is a significant cause of surgical mortality. Various attempts have been made to identify high-risk patients preoperatively and optimize and manage such patients more aggressively. This study aimed to evaluate the predictors of outcome in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy for perforation peritonitis. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on perforation peritonitis cases admitted to the Department of General Surgery, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh, India. The association between preoperative patient variables with postoperative complications, anastomotic leaks, need for intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and 30-day mortality were evaluated. Results: Tachycardia at the time of admission (t = 2.443, p = 0.020), hypotension (χ2 = 18.214, p =
