A Modified CT Severity Index for Evaluating Acute Pancreatitis: Improved Correlation with Patient Outcome

Abstract: The modified CT severity index correlates more closely with patient outcome measures than the currently accepted CT severity index, with similar interobserver variability.

“…Comment: The panel writing the present guidelines would like to add a note on the possibility of assessing CT severity according to the Mortelè criteria based on multidetector CT scanning [30]. This index differs from the Balthazar severity index by the addition of a simplified evaluation of the presence and number of fluid collections and the extent of pancreatic necrosis, and assessment, with different weighting factors, of the presence of extrapancreatic findings, such as pleural fluid, ascites, extrapancreatic parenchymal abnormalities (infarction, hemorrhage or subcapsular fluid collection), vascular complications (venous thrombosis, arterial hemorrhage or pseudoaneurysm formation) and involvement of the gastrointestinal tract (inflammation, perforation, or intramural fluid collection).…”

“…For example, the imaging-based computed tomography (CT) severity index (CTSI) quantifies the extent of inflammation and necrosis of the pancreas as well as the presence of peripancreatic inflammation and fluid collections. In several studies the CTSI was helpful in predicting the outcome of patients with AP [5,8,10,11,12,13,14]. …”

“…Örneğin Mortele ve arkadaşlarının 2004 yılında yaptıkları bir çalışmada hastanede kalış süresi açısından MBTŞİ ile BTŞİ karşılaştırılmış ve bizim çalışmamızda olduğu gibi MBTŞİ ile daha iyi bir korelasyon olduğu saptanmıştır [4].…”

“…Balthazar ve arkadaşları tarafından 1990 yılında tanımlanan BTŞİ, sıvı koleksiyonu, pankreatik ve ekstrapankreatik inflamasyon ve nekroz oranı ile korele olup en yaygın kabul gören skorlama sistemidir [3]. Mortele ve arkadaşları tarafından 2004 yılında, modifiye bilgisayarlı tomografi şiddet indeksi (MBTŞİ) tanımlanmıştır [4].…”
