Background: Acute Pancreatitis (AP) is one among the major diseases in the surgery wards with high rate of mortality. In spite of many scoring systems introduced to grade the severity of AP for optimal and timely management, mortality rate is still in a high pace. The aim of this study is to compare BISAP scoring system and APACHE II scoring system for accuracy and easiness in predicting the severity and mortality of AP and to deliver appropriate and timely intervention.Methods: The first 100 patients with AP in the year 2016 (January to August) were studied prospectively by calculating APACHE II score and BISAP score. According to Revised Atlanta classification severe AP was ascertained and the sensitivity and specificity of both scoring systems were assessed from chi square table. By using ROC curve accuracy and diagnostic value of two scoring systems were compared.Results: 100 patients with an age ranging from 20 to 80 years with a mean of 41.18 and male female ratio of 10.1:1 were studied. 95% of the patients presented with a symptom of abdominal pain and 49 out of 100 were having alcoholism as etiology. The average hospital stay of the patients was 12.03 days. Four patients died out of 11 severe AP and rest 89 were grouped into mild AP. BISAP score more than or equal to three have 64.2% chance of severe AP and was statistically significant in predicting the severity of AP. Areas under curve of the ROC curve after depicting the sensitivity and specificity of BISAP scores for severity and mortality were 0.90 and 0.96 respectively. APACHE II scores more than or equal to nine have 23.8% chance of severe AP and was statistically significant in predicting severity of AP. When sensitivity and specificity of APACHE II score were charted in ROC curve, areas under curve were 0.853 and 0.75 for severity and mortality in AP respectively.Conclusions: Compared to APACE II, BISAP is better scoring system in predicting both severity and mortality of AP on considering accuracy and easiness.

Introduction: Sepsis is a leading cause of death in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in developed countries and its incidence is increasing. Many scoring systems are used to assess the severity of disease in patients admitted to the ICU. SOFA score to assess the degree of organ dysfunction in septic patients. The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) scoring system is most often used for patients admitted to the ICU. CCI scoring system to assess the effect of comorbid disease in critically ill patients on mortality. The study aimed to describe the characteristics of the use of scoring to predict patients’ mortality admitted to Haji Adam Malik Hospital. Methods: This is an observational study with a cross-sectional design. A total of 299 study subjects met the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria, three types of scoring, namely SOFA score, APACHE II score, and CCI score were used to assess the prognosis of septic patients. Data analysis was performed using SPSS. P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 252 people (84.3%) of sepsis patients died. The mean age of the septic patients who died was 54.25 years. The SOFA score ranged from 0-24, the median SOFA score in deceased sepsis patients was 5.0. The APACHE II score ranged from 0-71, the median APACHE II score in deceased sepsis patients was 23.0. The CCI score ranged from 0-37, the median CCI score in deceased sepsis patients was 5.0. Conclusion: Higher scores are associated with an increased probability of death in septic patients. Keywords: Sepsis; mortality predictor; SOFA score; APACHE II score, CCI score.

BACKGROUND Accurate prediction of the severity of acute pancreatitis will help in identifying patients at increased risk for morbidity and mortality. We wanted to evaluate the different scoring systems in predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis. METHODS This cross-sectional study was undertaken in the Department of Surgery at a zonal hospital between April 2013 and December 2014. RESULTS 40 patients were selected and enrolled in the study as per the selection criteria. 20 (50 %) patients had fair outcome and 20 (50 %) had a poor outcome. Accuracy of different scoring systems in predicting patient outcome ranged from 45 % (48-hr APACHE II) to 62.5 % (Goris MOF at baseline and 48 hr). Baseline Goris MOF was 70 % sensitive and 55 % specific in prediction of poor outcome. It had an accuracy of 62.5 % in prediction of outcome. 48-hr Goris MOF was 80 % sensitive and 45 % specific in predicting the outcome. Baseline APACHE II scores were below the cut-off level in all the patients. 48-hr APACHE II scores were 5 % sensitive and 100% specific for prediction of outcome. Ranson score > 3 was 25 % sensitive and 90 % specific in the prediction of outcome. Balthazar score > 6 was 65 % sensitive and 55 % specific in prediction of outcome. Ranson score was found to have a limited sensitivity for different outcomes (ranging from 21.1 % to 50 %) but was found to have a high specificity (83.8 % to 90 %). CONCLUSIONS Goris scoring system (at 48 hrs) was found to be highly sensitive to different poor outcomes as well as duration of hospital stay. It also correlated with Balthazar scoring system, which was also highly sensitive to different poor outcomes studied.

Abstract Purpose To investigate the predictive significance of different pneumonia scoring systems in clinical severity and mortality risk of patients with severe novel coronavirus pneumonia. Materials and methods A total of 53 cases of severe novel coronavirus pneumonia were confirmed. The APACHE II, MuLBSTA and CURB-65 scores of different treatment methods were calculated, and the predictive power of each score on clinical respiratory support treatment and mortality risk was compared. Results The APACHE II score showed the largest area under ROC curve in both noninvasive and invasive respiratory support treatment assessments, which is significantly different from that of CURB-65. Further, the MuLBSTA score had the largest area under ROC curve in terms of death risk assessment, which is also significantly different from that of CURB-65; however, no difference was noted with the APACHE II score. Conclusion For patients with COVID, the APACHE II score is an effective predictor of the disease severity and mortality risk. Further, the MuLBSTA score is a good predictor only in terms of mortality risk.

Background: Acute pancreatitis is one of the most common diseases of gastrointestinal tract, leading to tremendous emotional, physical and financial burden. Acute pancreatitis is an acute inflammation of the prior normal gland parenchyma which is usually reversible (but acute attack can occur in a pre-existing chronic pancreatitis) with raised pancreatic enzyme levels in blood and urine. It may be first attack or relapsing attacks with an apparently normal gland in between. Biliary tract disease and alcoholism are the commonest cause of pancreatitis.Methods: It was an observational study at Surat municipal institute of medical education and research (SMIMER), Department of Surgery. In present study authors used BISAP score, RANSON’S score and APACHE II score to evaluate the severity and mortality in cases of pancreatitis. In present study authors have compare all the scoring system on the basis of CT scan findings. In present study authors have included all patients above age of 18 years. Patient below 18 years of age, acute on chronic pancreatitis and hereditary pancreatitis were not included.Results: In this retrospective study, we found that incidence of colorectal carcinoma is more between 40-60 years of age with male predominance; lymph node metastasis is more than metastasis in any other sites. CT scan can diagnose lymphatic metastasis and infiltration in surrounding tissue more accurately. Percentage of sphincter saving procedure were low in rectal malignancies in our study.Conclusions: All three-scoring system assess the prognosis of the patient, but the prognosis assessed by APACHE II score is better, but for quick and easy assessment, BISAP score is good for prognosis because APACHE II score uses more parameters to assess the prognosis and BISAP score uses less parameters to assess the prognosis.

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. Despite intensive research, efforts and clinical investigations on pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis (AP) and system morbidity during the illness onset, mortality is still very high in the group of severe forms. A significantly high number of patients show moderate, self-limited forms of illness, with a minimal degree of systemic or local complications, with full recovery. However, some of them have a severe form, followed by a high percent of morbidity and mortality, and system organ failure. The distinction between mild and severe forms of AP within 24-48 hours of hospital admission is very important for the treatment of these patients. The usage of multifactorial scoring systems holds a lot of promise, reaching reliability in the disease severity estimation of approximately 70-80%. Objective. The main purpose of this prospective study was to assess the correlation of the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) and the Bernard Organ Failure Score (BOFS) scoring systems in estimation of disease severity and outcome prediction. Methods. Sixty patients with AP participated in the study, all of them scored with the APACHE II and BOFS scores. The results were used for integration of laboratory and clinical parameters. Results. In our study, we had a highly significant correlation between the APACHE II and BOFS scores from the disease onset until the end of treatment. There was a highly significant correlation between these two scores and the serum C-reactive protein concentration level. Conclusion. The concept of the BOFS score has more advantages than the APACHE II score in the patients with severe forms of AP with organ dysfunction.

In recent years, with the developing of living standard, hyperlipidemia becomes the second major reason of acute pancreatitis. It is important to predict the severity and prognosis at early stage of hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis (HLAP). We compared the BISAP, Ranson, MCTSI, and APACHE II scoring system in predicting MSAP and SAP, local complications, and mortality of HLAP. A total of 326 diagnosed hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis patients from August 2006 to July 2015 were studied retrospectively. Our result showed that all four scoring systems can be used to predict the severity, local complications, and mortality of HLAP. Ranson did not have significant advantage in predicting severity and prognosis of HLAP compared to other three scoring systems. APACHE II was the best in predicting severity of HLAP, but it had shortcoming in predicting local complications. MCTSI had outstanding performance in predicting local complications, but it was poor in predicting severity and mortality. BISAP score had high accuracy in assessment of severity, local complications, and mortality of HLAP, but the accuracy still needs to be improved in the future.

Abstract Background Recently, several novel scoring systems have been developed to evaluate the severity and outcomes of acute pancreatitis. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of novel and conventional scoring systems in predicting the severity and outcomes of acute pancreatitis. Methods Patients treated between January 2003 and August 2020 were reviewed. The Ranson score (RS), Glasgow score (GS), bedside index of severity in acute pancreatitis (BISAP), pancreatic activity scoring system (PASS), and Chinese simple scoring system (CSSS) were determined within 48 h after admission. Multivariate logistic regression was used for severity, mortality, and organ failure prediction. Optimum cutoffs were identified using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Results A total of 1848 patients were included. The areas under the curve (AUCs) of RS, GS, BISAP, PASS, and CSSS for severity prediction were 0.861, 0.865, 0.829, 0.778, and 0.816, respectively. The corresponding AUCs for mortality prediction were 0.693, 0.736, 0.789, 0.858, and 0.759. The corresponding AUCs for acute respiratory distress syndrome prediction were 0.745, 0.784, 0.834, 0.936, and 0.820. Finally, the corresponding AUCs for acute renal failure prediction were 0.707, 0.734, 0.781, 0.868, and 0.816. Conclusions RS and GS predicted severity better than they predicted mortality and organ failure, while PASS predicted mortality and organ failure better. BISAP and CSSS performed equally well in severity and outcome predictions.

A widely used scoring system to assess the severity of sepsis is Acute Physiology, Age, and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II scoring system, however there are some disadvantages in using this. Other parameters are needed to predict severity and outcome of sepsis. Proinflammatory cytokines and Fas receptors are increased in sepsis and their concentration elevations are correlated with disease severity. An increase of soluble Fas level will follow increasing Fas receptors. This study aimed to prove any correlation between the level of soluble Fas and degree of sepsis severity based on APACHE II score. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in January-June 2015 on 30 septic patients. APACHE II scores were calculated from the patients’physiological data, age, and chronic health problem status. Levels of soluble Fas were measured using the ELISA method (Human FAS/ CD95 (Factor-Related Apoptosis) ELISA Kit, Elabscience Biotechnology). Levels of soluble Fas ranged between 1,049-2,783 pg/mL (1,855.7 ± 477.27 pg/mL). APACHE II scores varied between 4-29 (17.2 ± 5.82). Significant positive correlations between levels of soluble Fas and APACHE II score (r=0.347, p=0.03) were found. A prediction model of soluble Fas levels based on APACHE II score was made. Linear regression analysis produced a prediction model of soluble Fas levels based on APACHE II score, in which soluble Fas level= 1,365.8 + 28.485 x APACHE II score.
