The percentage of neutrophils in a peritoneal cell sample (PNP), obtained at operation, was measured in 250 patients who underwent urgent laparotomy because 'the surgical acute abdomen' (SAA) was suspected. The PNP was substantially higher in patients with confirmed SAA than in others and is potentially a very sensitive and very specific test of SAA. If the PNP was available as a diagnostic test for patients with acute abdominal pain, there might be a significant reduction in unnecessary and delayed laparotomies.
对250例因怀疑患有“外科急腹症”（SAA）而接受急诊剖腹手术的患者，测量了术中获取的腹膜细胞样本中的中性粒细胞百分比（PNP）。确诊为SAA的患者的PNP显著高于其他患者，它可能是一种对SAA非常敏感且非常特异的检测方法。如果PNP可作为急性腹痛患者的诊断检测手段，那么不必要的和延迟的剖腹手术可能会显著减少。
