    Background: peritonitis is an important and complicated abdominal event resulting from intra-abdominal and major multisystemic disorders causing high morbidity rates and even more mortality ranging from 8 to 30 %. Prediction systems have been developed that describe the characteristics of secondary peritonitis in a population, such as the Mannheim Index (IM), which facilitates the stratification of patients according to physiological, analytical or clinical parameters. Objective: to determine the characteristics of secondary peritonitis according to the Mannheim Index in patients who were treated at the General Hospital "Homero Castanier Crespo" of Azogues between 2010 and 2015. Methodological design: descriptive, retrospective and cross-sectional study; with review of medical records of 164 patients diagnosed with secondary peritonitis, to whom MI is applied. The results are presented in tables of frequencies with percentages and measures of central tendency. Results: 64% of the studied population had a male premodimance, with a mean age of 34.11 ± 19.29 years; the more common cause of secondary peritonitis was acute appendicitis 70.1%, with a stay time of less than 6 days of 54.3% Mortality was 9.8%; however according to MI in the patients with secondary peritonitis treated in the hospital, there was no mortality in the population with a MI <26 while with a MI ≥26 the mortality was 50%. Conclusions: The Mannheim Index is a useful tool to determine the characteristics of secondary peritonitis in the population
