简要总结
The aim of this study is to evaluate if the presence of abdominal free air on a plain chest radiograph predicts gastrointestinal perforation. We aimed to enroll all patients undergoing abdominal surgery reporting major symptoms and signs suggestive of gastrointestinal perforation (abdominal pain, leukocytosis, fever) within the third postoperative day.
