Acute pancreatitis: value of CT in establishing prognosis.
TL;DR: A CT severity index, based on a combination of peripancreatic inflammation, phlegmon, and degree of pancreatic necrosis as seen at initial CT study, was developed and showed clear trends in patients who initially had or developed more than 30% necrosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute Pancreatitis: Assessment of Severity with Clinical and CT Evaluation
TL;DR: Treatment of patients with acute pancreatitis is based on the initial assessment of disease severity and individual laboratory indexes (markers of pancreatic injury, markers of inflammatory response), while promising, have not yet gained clinical acceptance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute pancreatitis: prognostic value of CT.
TL;DR: Early CT examination of patients with acute pancreatitis is a useful prognostic indicator of morbidity and mortality and the use of prognostic signs with initial CT findings results in improved prognostic accuracy.
Journal ArticleDOI
