Comparison of FGSI and HALP scores for mortality prediction in Fournier's Gangrene: A retrospective analysis.
Article in Ulusal travma ve acil cerrahi dergisi = Turkish journal of trauma & emergency surgery : TJTES, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis study aimed to compare the prognostic performance of the Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index (FGSI) and the hemoglobin-albumin-lymphocyte-platelet (HALP) score in predicting in-hospital mortality among patients diagnosed with Fournier's gangrene. As Fournier's gangrene remains a life-threatening and rapidly progressive soft tissue infection, early risk stratification is critical for improving patient outcomes. Validating practical scoring systems may support timely clinical decision-making and resource allocation.
methodsA retrospective analysis was performed on 52 patients who underwent surgical treatment for Fournier's gangrene at a tertiary referral center between December 2022 and June 2025. Demographic, laboratory, and clinical data were collected, and both FGSI and HALP scores were calculated at the time of admission. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and multivariate logistic regression were used to assess the predictive value of both scores for in-hospital mortality.
resultsThe mean FGSI was 5.1±2.2, while the mean HALP score was 134.6±100.2. FGSI showed acceptable discrimination (AUC=0.7639; cutoff=5.0), with 72.7% sensitivity and 67.7% specificity. HALP had poor predictive ability (AUC=0.4018). In multivariate analysis, FGSI was an independent predictor (p=0.0146), while HALP was not (p=0.9474).
conclusionFGSI appears to be a reliable and independent prognostic tool in patients with Fournier's gangrene. HALP, however, does not offer additional prognostic benefit. FGSI should be prioritized in early risk assessment to guide management strategies.
