Introduction: Acute pancreatitis is a common presentation of acute abdomen in emergency room. Identifying the patients who might develop severe disease is a challenging task. Neutrophil-Lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is being used in various conditions to predict severity and same has been extended to pancreatitis. Materials And Methods:We did as retrospective analysis of patients admitted with mild pancreatitis during the period of March 2021 to July 2022 by comparing the NLR, BISAPscore in mild acute pancreatitis. Results:There were 26 patients admitted with mild acute pancreatitis during this period, 20 males and 6 females. They belong to mean age group of 39.07years (SD 12.54). Gallstone and alcohol were most common cause of pancreatitis. The mean NLR was 5.78 (SD 3.15). 20 patients had BISAPscore of 0. Conclusion: NLR is an economical, one time investigation that can be done at the time of admission which can predict severity of pancreatitis. However, optimal cut-off values are yet to be dened.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
