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

Lipotoxicity Causes Multisystem Organ Failure and Exacerbates Acute Pancreatitis in Obesity

TL;DR: Evidence is gathered that therapeutic approaches that target unsaturated fatty acid–mediated lipotoxicity may reduce adverse outcomes in obese patients with critical illnesses such as severe acute pancreatitis, and that inhibiting lipolysis with the drug orlistat can prevent the pancreatic-associated rise in serum uns saturated fatty acids and reduce damage to the lung and kidney.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

New insights into acute pancreatitis

TL;DR: A summary of recent advances in acute pancreatitis with a special emphasis on pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical management of the disorder is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common genetic variants in the CLDN2 and PRSS1-PRSS2 loci alter risk for alcohol-related and sporadic pancreatitis

David C. Whitcomb, +201 more
- 01 Dec 2012 - 
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.
