    PurposeTo create new scoring system for prediction of hospital mortality for patients with Fournier's gangrene(FG).Material And MethodIn total, 84 patients with FG were enrolled into this study. The demographic and clinical characteristics of patients were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsThe mortality rate was 11.9 %. On multivariate analyses, age >60 years, BUN >40 mg/dl, RDW >14.95 %, albumin level <20 mg/dl and presence of sepsis were significant and independent predictors of mortality. The predictive value of our score for mortality was 95.1 %.ConclusionOur scoring system shows adequate discriminatory function for prediction of mortality in patients with FG. Further larger scale studies can improve the performance of our score.
