Multicenter Study
The early prediction of mortality in acute pancreatitis: a large population-based study.
Identification of patients at risk for mortality early in the course of acute pancreatitis (AP) is an important step in improving outcome. ⋯ A new mortality-based prognostic scoring system for use in AP has been derived and validated. The BISAP is a simple and accurate method for the early identification of patients at increased risk for in-hospital mortality.
