BACKGROUND: Multiple studies document a correlation between anorectal malformations (ARMs) and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), development of urinary tract infections (UTIs), and subsequent renal disease.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate effective factors in the survival of patients with Fournier's gangrene (FG) and compare three different validated scoring systems for outcome prediction: Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index (FGSI), Uludag Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index (UFGSI) and age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index (ACCI).
