Comparative StudyBedside index for severity in acute pancreatitis: comparison with other scoring systems in predicting severity and organ failure.
The early identification of severe acute pancreatitis is important for the management and for improving outcomes. The bedside index for severity in acute pancreatitis (BISAP) has been considered as an accurate method for risk stratification in patients with acute pancreatitis. This study aimed to evaluate the comparative usefulness of the BISAP. ⋯ The BISAP predicts severity, death, and especially organ failure in acute pancreatitis as well as APACHE-II does and better than Ranson criteria, CTSI, CRP, hematocrit, and BMI.
