From: A decision rule to aid selection of patients with abdominal sepsis requiring a relaparotomy
Nomogram displaying the points associated with each variable included in the final prediction model corrected for over fitting. The total score is converted to the probability that a relaparotomy is necessary and divided into three categories. The decision rule guides monitoring of the patient by timing the repetition of the prediction model and performance of a computed tomography scan if indicated.
