Is there a need for the Fournier's gangrene severity index? Comparison of scoring systems for outcome prediction in patients with Fournier's gangrene

Abstract

• Older patients with comorbidities and need for mechanical ventilation and RBCs are at higher risk for death. • In the present cohort, scores calculated easily at the bedside, such as ACCI and sAPGAR, seemed to be as good at predicting outcome in patients with FG as FGSI and UFGSI.
