Journal ArticleDOI
The early prediction of mortality in acute pancreatitis: a large population-based study
TL;DR: The BISAP is a simple and accurate method for the early identification of patients at increased risk for in-hospital mortality in acute pancreatitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Patients with acute pancreatitis who were resuscitated with lactated Ringer's solution had reduced systemic inflammation compared with those who received saline.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
A prospective evaluation of the bedside index for severity in acute pancreatitis score in assessing mortality and intermediate markers of severity in acute pancreatitis.
Vikesh K. Singh,Bechien U. Wu,T.L. Bollen,Kathryn Repas,Rie Maurer,Richard S. Johannes,Koenraad J. Mortele,Darwin L. Conwell,Peter A. Banks +8 more
TL;DR: The BISAP score represents a simple way to identify patients at risk of increased mortality and the development of intermediate markers of severity within 24 h of presentation and can be utilized to improve clinical care and facilitate enrollment in clinical trials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vikesh K. Singh,Bechien U. Wu,Thomas L. Bollen,Kathryn Repas,Rie Maurer,Koenraad J. Mortele,Peter A. Banks +6 more
TL;DR: The severity of acute pancreatitis is greater among patients with SirS on day 1 and, in particular, among those with 3 or 4 SIRS criteria, compared with those without SIRs on day1.
