Journal ArticleDOI

Lactated Ringer's solution reduces systemic inflammation compared with saline in patients with acute pancreatitis.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
