A comparative study of BISAP, Ranson’s score, APACHE II score and modified CT severity index in predicting morbidity and mortality of acute pancreatitis

Abstract

A total of 130 patients with acute pancreatitis in JSS hospital from the time of November 2018 to April 2020 have been considered in the present study. A cross sectional prospective study in which the patient was observed from the day of admission and followed up till discharge. Out of 130 patients in this study, 102 were male. Majority of the study population had alcohol consumption (52.3%) as etiology. Severe acute pancreatitis was found in 15 patients. Outcomes revealed recovery in 70% of patients and complications in 36%. Mortality was 3% of the study population. Statistically significant trends of increasing severity and organ failure (P<0.0001) was observed with increasing BISAP. BISAP scoring system is an easy, feasible clinical bedside scoring system in prediction of acute pancreatitis severity. It plays a crucial role to determine the cases who might require intensive care in the course of the illness.
