چکیده

The aim of this study was to test the efficacy of eosinophilic count as a broad indicator in prognosticating mortality in surgical intensive care unit (ICU). 437 patients admitted to the emergency ward were evaluated for eosinophilc count and absolute eosinophilic count. In a ten years study undertaken from 2004 to 2014, patients admitted to the emergency ward were evaluated for eosinophilic count (EC) and absolute eosinophilic count (AEC) alongwith blood culture. The numbers of patients were tabulated according to a range and deaths in these ranges were analyzed. The results were statistically analyzed using SPSS 22 software. There were 69 deaths. Maximum deaths were seen in patients with AEC < 40/cmm (21 deaths). 15 out of the 21 deaths had a positive blood culture. Eosinopenia paired with blood culture, on admission give a fair indication of mortality.
