Journal ArticleDOI

Bechien U. Wu,James Q. Hwang,Timothy H. Gardner,Kathryn Repas,Ryan Delee,Song Yu,Benjamin N. Smith,Peter A. Banks,Darwin L. Conwell +8 more
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
A comparative evaluation of radiologic and clinical scoring systems in the early prediction of severity in acute pancreatitis.
Thomas L. Bollen,Vikesh K. Singh,Rie Maurer,Kathryn Repas,Hendrik W. van Es,Peter A. Banks,Koenraad J. Mortele +6 more
TL;DR: The predictive accuracy of CT scoring systems for severity of AP is similar to clinical scoring systems, and a CT on admission solely for severity assessment in AP is not recommended.
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
Early Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome Is Associated With Severe Acute Pancreatitis
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
An assessment of the severity of interstitial pancreatitis.
Vikesh K. Singh,Thomas L. Bollen,Bechien U. Wu,Kathryn Repas,Rie Maurer,Song Yu,Koenraad J. Mortele,Darwin L. Conwell,Peter A. Banks +8 more
TL;DR: IP is severe in only 1% to 3% of patients; mortality of IP is associated strongly with comorbidity;EXPN is more frequently severe than IP; EXPN must be distinguished from IP in clinical studies.
