The observed mortality rate was 8.8%. Among all scores, MPI showed the best prognostic performance (AUROC=0.805, 95% CI 0.660-0.950). A threshold MPI >25 points permitted prediction of adverse outcome with a sensitivity of 66.7% and a specificity of 80.6%. The only significant correlation was found between outcome and MPI (p=0.012, r=0.302). Conclusions: The MPI has the ability to prognosticate mortality in patients with LP unlike WSES SSS, qSOFA and SIRS.
