Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an acute inflammation of the pancreas, usually occurs suddenly with a variety of clinical symptoms, complications of multiple organ failure and high mortality rates. Objectives: To determine the value of combination of HAP score and BISAP score in predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis of the Atlanta 2012 Classification. Patients and Methods: 75 patients of acute pancreatitis hospitalized at Hue Central Hospital between March 2017 and July 2018; HAP and BISHAP score is calculated within the first 24 hours. The severity of AP was classified by the revised Atlanta criteria 2012. Results: When combining the HAP and BISAP scores in predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis, the area under the ROC curve was 0,923 with sensitivity value was 66.7%, specificity value was 97.1%; positive predictive value was 66.7%, negative predictive value was 97.1%. Conclusion: The combination of HAP and BISAP scores increased the sensitivity, predictive value, and prognostic value in predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis of the revised Atlanta 2012 classification in compare to each single scores. Key words: HAPscore, BiSAP score, acute pancreatitis, predicting severity

Aims: To examine the validity of the diagnoses of acute and chronic pancreatitis registered in the Danish National Patient Registry. Methods: We identified all patients in the Danish National Patient Registry admitted to two Danish hospitals with acute or chronic pancreatitis from 1996 to 2013. From this population, we randomly sampled 100 patients with acute pancreatitis and 100 patients with chronic pancreatitis. For each cohort, we computed the positive predictive values and associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the discharge diagnosis of acute or chronic pancreatitis using medical records as the gold standard. Results: We identified 2617 patients with acute pancreatitis and 1284 patients with chronic pancreatitis discharged from either of the two hospitals during the study period. Of these, 776 (19.9%) had a diagnosis of both acute and chronic pancreatitis and are thus present in both cohorts. From the 200 sampled patients, a total of 138 (69.0%) medical records were available for review. The positive predictive value for a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis in the Danish National Patient Registry was 97.3% (95% CI 90.5–99.2%) and for chronic pancreatitis 83.1% (95% CI 72.2–90.3%). Conclusions: The validity of diagnoses of acute and chronic pancreatitis registered in the Danish National Patient Registry since 1996 is generally high.

Objective: To establish the diagnostic accuracy of BISAP in detecting the severe acute pancreatitis keeping computed tomography severity index as gold standard. Study Design: Cross-sectional study Place and Duration of Study: Department of Gastroenterology, Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar from April 16th 2018 to 16th October 2018. Methodology: One hundred and twenty nine patients of age range of 18-60, of either gender having severe acute pancreatitis were included. While patients already diagnosed as severe acute pancreatitis and having known history of chronic pancreatitis were excluded. Patients were subjected to CT scan to confirm whether the severe acute pancreatitis is present or not. All CT scans were reported by single experiences radiologist. Results: There were 30.3% were males and 69.7% were females with mean age 42±11.03 years. BISAP had sensitivity 92.74%, specificity 80%, positive predictive value 99.13%, negative predictive value 20.76% and the overall diagnostic accuracy was 92.24%. Conclusion: BISAP had sensitivity 93.61%, specificity 100%, positive predictive value 100%, negative predictive value 40% and the overall diagnostic accuracy was 93.87% in severe acute pancreatitis keeping CT severity index as gold standard. Keywords: Accuracy, Severe acute pancreatitis, Computed tomography

BACKGROUND Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas, that results from intrapancreatic activation, release, and digestion of the organ by its own enzymes. The diagnosis of acute pancreatitis can be made when a patient presents with threefold elevated serum levels of amylase or lipase, abdominal pain and vomiting. In this study, we wanted to assess the severity of acute pancreatitis by using BISAP (Bedside index for severity in acute pancreatitis) and APACHE-II (Acute physiology and chronic health evaluation) scoring systems and compare the accuracy of BISAP scores with APACHE-II scores. METHODS A prospective study including 201 patients was conducted from April 2018 to March 2020 in Victoria Hospital, affiliated to BMCRI. RESULTS Among 201 AP patients, 129 were found to have mild acute pancreatitis (MAP), 72 were of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), 192 survival cases, and 9 death cases. The larger the rating score, the higher the proportion of severe pancreatitis and mortality risk. Two kinds of scoring criteria; BISAP score points and Apache II score points compared in patients with MAP and SAP, In Apache II score to predict severity of organ failure, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value was 84.72 %, 93.02 %, 87.14 %, 91.60 % and area under the curve was 0.958 (P < 0.0001). In BISAP, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value was 90.28 %, 80.62 %, 72.22 %, 93.69 % and area under the curve was 0.917 (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Ability of APACHE II score prediction of AP in severity of organ failure and mortality are stronger than BISAP score, But APACHE II scoring system indicators were cumbersome, complicated assessment. BISAP scoring system is simple, economical, rapid and reliable, and it can effectively predict the severity and mortality of acute pancreatitis, and can be used as a preliminary screening method in accurate risk stratification and initiation of management accordingly at community health care, secondary health care and tertiary health care Hospitals.

Introduction: During the past decades there has been a great progress in neuroimaging methods. Cranial computed tomography is part of the daily routine now and its use allows a fast diagnosis of parenchymal hemorrhage. However, before the availability of computed tomography the differentiation between ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke was based on patient history, physical examination, percutan angiography and cerebrospinal fluid sampling, and the clinical utility could be evaluated by autopsy of deceased patients. Aim: The authors explored the diagnostic performance of cerebrospinal fluid examination for the diagnosis of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Method: Data of 200 deceased stroke patients were retrospectively evaluated. All patients had liquor sampling at admission and all of them had brain autopsy. Results: Bloody or yellowish cerebrospinal fluid at admission had a positive predictive value of 87.5% for hemorrhagic stroke confirmed by autopsy, while clear cerebrospinal fluid had positive predictive value of 90.7% for ischemic stroke. Patients who had clear liquor, but autopsy revealed hemorrhagic stroke had higher protein level in the cerebrospinal fluid, but the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.09). Conclusions: The results confirm the importance of pathological evaluation of the brain in cases deceased from cerebral stroke. With this article the authors wanted to salute for those who contributed to the development of the Hungarian neuropathology. In this year we remember the 110th anniversary of the birth, and the 60th anniversary of the death of professor Kálmán Sántha. Professor László Molnár would be 90 years old in 2013. Orv.
