Introduction Globally, acute generalised peritonitis (AGP) is a common medical and surgical
emergency which is a major contributor to non-trauma deaths despite improvements in
diagnosis and surgical and intensive care management. In order to determine the global
burden of AGP, geared at tailoring key interventions to curb its morbidity and mortality, we
proposed this first ever systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the contemporary
prevalence, and to determine the most frequent AGP and the case fatality rate of AGP, at the …
