Brief Summary

Gastro-intestinal perforation is a condition that can become life-threatening in case of appearance of systemic symptoms, sepsis-related peripheral hypoperfusion and single or multiple organ failure needing a prompt intervention in Emergency Department (ED) setting. Literature reports disagreeing data about the effect of surgical timing on mortality and postoperative outcomes: Buck et al. described a 2.4 % of decreased survival every hour of surgical delay in case of perforated peptic ulcers. Other authors documented significantly longer postoperative hospital stay, greater health costs and a significant increase of postoperative complication and mortality rates when surgery is delayed in high-risk patients with comorbidities or age \> 65 years. Azuhata described a highly significant relationship between delayed surgery and patients' survival: after 6 hours from admission to ED, patients with gastrointestinal perforation and associated septic shock don't survive to surgery. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of delay of time between patient admission to ED and surgery for source control on 30-d mortality and postoperative outcomes in patients with gastrointestinal perforation with or without septic shock. Furthermore, we want to define the time threshold within which surgery can affect patients' survival.
