American College of Gastroenterology guideline: management of acute pancreatitis.
TL;DR: As the diagnosis of AP is most often established by clinical symptoms and laboratory testing, contrast-enhanced computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging of the pancreas should be reserved for patients in whom the diagnosis is unclear or who fail to improve clinically.

A Clinically Based Classification System for Acute Pancreatitis: Summary of the International Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis, Atlanta, Ga, September 11 Through 13, 1992
TL;DR: In the absence of accepted definitions for acute pancreatitis and its complications, it has not been possible to devise a clinical classification system useful for case management as discussed by the authors, which is why a group of 40 international authorities from six medical disciplines and 15 countries participated in a three-day meeting and open discussion.

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.

Should Immunonutrition Become Routine in Critically Ill Patients?A Systematic Review of the Evidence
TL;DR: Investigating the relationship between enteral nutrition supplemented with immune-enhancing nutrients and infectious complications and mortality rates in critically ill patients found that studies using commercial formulas with high arginine content were associated with a significant reduction in infectious complication rates and a trend toward a lower mortality rate compared with other immune- enhancing diets.
