Introduction and Objective: Clinically, the Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) is identified by two or more symptoms including fever or hypothermia, tachycardia, tachypnoea and change in blood leukocyte count. The relationship between SIRS symptoms at the time of presentation and severity of pancreatitis is yet to be determined though progression of SIRS in subsequent days has been already correlated. The aim our study was to determine the severity of pancreatitis with SIRS score at the time of admission.Materials and Methods: We conducted prospective cohort study of consecutive patient admitted to emergency of KMCTH, with diagnosis of Acute Pancreatitis (AP) from December 2014 to January 2016. Clinical, biochemical and imaging data from the patients were collected to diagnose pancreatitis. Acute Pancreatitis was diagnosed as per Revised Atlanta Classification 2012. SIRS was evaluated at the time of admission and was correlated with Modified Marshall scoring system for organ dysfunction and sensitivity, specificity and predictive value of SIRS score at admission for organ failure was calculated.Results: Among 41 patients admitted with diagnosis of Acute pancreatitis irrespective of cause the sensitivity of SIRS score at admission in predicting Severe pancreatitis was 28 %, specificity was 80%, Positive predictive value was 60 % and NPV was 51 %, with P value of 0.52 and odds ratio of 1.6 ( CI- 0.376-6.808).Conclusion: This study showed that SIRS score at admission is not sensitive in predicting severe pancreatitis however it is specific for severe pancreatitis.

Background: Clinically, the Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) is identified by two or more symptoms including fever or hypothermia, tachycardia, tachypnea and change in blood leukocyte count. The relationship between SIRS symptoms at the time of presentation and severity of pancreatitis is yet to be determined though progression of SIRS in subsequent days has already been correlated.Objectives: To determine the severity of pancreatitis with SIRS score at the time of admission.Methodology: A retrospective cohort study of patients admitted to Department of Surgery, Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital (KMCTH) with diagnosis of Acute Pancreatitis (AP) from December 2014 to January 2016 was conducted. Clinical, biochemical and imaging data were collected from the medical record section. Patients with diagnosis of acute pancreatitis as per Revised Atlanta Classification 2012 were included in the study. SIRS score at time of admission was correlated with Modified Marshall scoring system for organ dysfunction. Patients were grouped into severe and nonsevere group. Sensitivity, specificity and predictive values of SIRS score at admission for organ failure were calculated.Results: Among the 41 patients admitted with diagnosis of acute pancreatitis irrespective of cause, the sensitivity of SIRS score ≥2 at admission in predicting severe pancreatitis was 60 %, specificity was 20%, positive predictive value was 28% and negative predictive value was 20 %, with p-value of 0.52 and odds ratio of 1.6 (CI: 0.376-6.808).Conclusion: SIRS score at admission cannot be solely used in predicting acute severe pancreatitis. Patients can be stratified in resource deficit setting for timely referral to tertiary centre.

Objectives: To compare BISAP score with Ranson’s scoring in predicting severity of acute pancreatitisMethods: Extensive demographic, radiographic, and laboratory data from consecutive patients with AP admitted to our institution was collected between March 2014 to March 2015. Ranson’s and BISAP score was calculated. Severity of pancreatitis was defined according to Atlanta classification. Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV of both the scoring system was calculated and compared.Results: A total of 42 patients with diagnosis of acute pancreatitis were included during the study period. 21(50%) were male and 21(50%) were female. Mean age is 49.52 ± 17.37.Most common etiology was biliary (45%) followed by alcohol (31%). 20 (48%) patients were categorized as severe pancreatitis according to Atlanta classification. 21 (50%) patients had a Ranson’s score of ≥3 and 19 (45.24%) patients had a BISAP score of ≥3. Both Ranson’s and BISAP scoring system was statistically significant in determining SAP ( p-value = 0.002). Sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of Ranson’s and BISAP score was calculated to be 75%, 72.72%, 71.43%, 76.19% and 70%, 77.27%, 73.68%, 73.91%. respectively. The AUC for SAP by Ranson’s score is 0.7386 ; 95%CI (0.602 - 0.874) and BISAP score is 0.7364 ; 95% CI ( 0.599 - 0.872).Conclusions: Both Ranson’s and BISAP scoring system is similar in predicting SAP. However BISAP has the advantage due to its simplicity.

Objective: This study evaluated the correlation between preoperative urine culture and intraoperative stone culture and the impact of stone culture findings on post-operative systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Material & Method:Patients with kidney stones who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) from February to May 2012 were prospectively analyzed. A pre-operative urine culture was obtained in the morning before the operation, fragmented stone collected were cultured in Departement of Microbiology. Patients were monitored closely in the postoperative period for signs of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Results:A total of 33 patients underwent PCNL and examined for urine cultures, stone culture and postoperative SIRS, 15 (45.45%) patients with positive urine culture, 18 patients (54.54%) with positive stone culture but only 1 patient (3.03%) had same pathogen (p = 0.629). Ten patients (55.6%) with positive stone cultures had evidence of systemic inflammatory respose syndrome postoperatively. The calculated stone culture value for sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 100%, 65.2%, 55.6%, and 100%. Preoperative hydronephrosis (p = 0.003) and operative time (p = 0.001) are identified as the key risk factors for SIRS after PCNL.Conclusion: Positive stone culture are better predictors for SIRS after PCNL. Stone culture examination is an essential in directing the proper antibiotic therapyin patients with SIRS after PCNL.  Keywords: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), urine culture, stone culture, systemic inflammatory response syndrome after PCNL.
