Materials Methods: Scoring simple, easy access readily available economic, it involves criteria (hematocrit, body mass index, pleural effusion). It a prospective study which 100 patients were evaluated Scoring, who diagnosed admitted department general surgery, Mysore Medical College Research Institute. Results: The results showed had 96.25% specificity, 70% sensitivity, 82.35% positive predictive value, 92.77% negative value. Conclusion: cost effective, can be determined thus early prediction disease referral higher center.
