Comparison of BISAP, Ranson's, APACHE-II, and CTSI scores in predicting organ failure, complications, and mortality in acute pancreatitis

TL;DR: It is confirmed that the BISAP score is an accurate means for risk stratification in patients with AP and simple scoring systems may have reached their maximal utility and novel models are needed to further improve predictive accuracy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of existing clinical scoring systems to predict persistent organ failure in patients with acute pancreatitis.

TL;DR: The existing scoring systems seem to have reached their maximal efficacy in predicting persistent organ failure in acute pancreatitis, and 12 predictive rules that combined these scores to optimize predictive accuracy are developed.

TL;DR: Two associations at genome-wide significance identified and replicated at PRSS1-PRSS2 and X-linked CLDN2 are reported and could partially explain the high frequency of alcohol-related pancreatitis in men.
