Inclusion Criteria:
* Age \> 18 years old;
* Expected ICU stay ≥ 72 hours;
* Meeting one of the diagnostic criteria for intra-abdominal infection: 1) Single organ infection (such as cholecystitis, appendicitis, diverticulitis, cholangitis, pancreatitis, salpingitis, etc.), which may be accompanied by or without peritonitis, even without perforation; 2) Peritonitis, classified as primary, secondary, or recurrent; 3) Intra-abdominal abscess.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients with wounds, redness, swelling, bleeding, or other conditions at the abdominal measurement points that prevent ultrasound assessment;
* Patients with intra-abdominal gas accumulation that affects abdominal ultrasound imaging, making ultrasound quantitative scoring impossible;
* Patients who have not undergone abdominal CT examination within 72 hours of ICU admission;
* Patients who do not consent to participate in this study.
Primary outcome measure(s)
Quantitative CT Scoring for Pathological Accumulations in the Abdominal Cavity Space — up to 3 days after admission to ICU score range from 0-20, higher scores indicate a worse outcome
Quantitative Ultrasound Scoring for Pathological Accumulations in the Abdominal Cavity Space — up to 3 days after admission to ICU score range from 0-20, higher scores indicate a worse outcome
