Intra-abdominal infections still represent a challenge for surgeons. The systemic physiopathological effects of infection rapidly progress, leading to sepsis and multiorgan failure, whose prognosis is often dramatic. Mortality risk stratification using scoring systems would unequivocally aid the early identification of patients at risk of disease progression.

Adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) is one of the most frequently encountered disorders in Emergency Surgery Departments worldwide without negligible hospital admission rates and social costs (1,2). Notwithstanding significant improvements in techniques and materials, intra-abdominal adhesions following abdominal surgery still represent a major unsolved and debated issue harbouring challenges regarding diagnosis, pathogenesis, management and revention. In this setting, the cornerstone lies on a proper nosological classification with a subsequent diagnostic dilemma in distinguishing ASBO from other causes of obstruction and in an early identification of emergency surgery cases. conflicting results raise more questions.
