A Comparative Evaluation of Radiologic and Clinical Scoring Systems in the Early Prediction of Severity in Acute Pancreatitis

Abstract: The predictive accuracy of CT scoring systems for severity of AP is similar to clinical scoring systems. Hence, a CT on admission solely for severity assessment in AP is not recommended.

“…Several CT scoring systems have been reported as being better than other systems for predicting the severity of AP. Bollen et al (27) reported no statistically significant differences between the predictive accuracies of CT and clinical scoring systems. In conclusion, these authors did not recommend a CT for conducting a severity assessment.…”

“…A three fold or higher level of serum amylase and lipase confirms the diagnosis [6] .In our study,95% of patients have three fold or higher serum level of amylase and lipase.CECT is currently the best diagnostic method for pancreatic necrosis [7] .In our study CECT has been done in all patients to exclude pancreatic necrosis in early stage.CT severity index has a good correlation with mortality and morbidity [8] .Most episodes of acute pancreatitis(80%) are mild and self limiting [9] .Organ failure and infection of pancreatic necrosis are important determinants of mortality in patients with acute pancreatitis and the presence of either indicates severe disease [10] .In our study 86% of cases were managed conservatively without any complication,early operative intervention for infection of pancreatic necrosis in 2%,late operative intervention for pseudocyst in 4% and mortality in 4% of cases.…”
