COMPARISON OF BISAP, NLR AND HAPS IN PREDICTING SEVERITY OF ACUTE PANCREATITIS,...

Backgrond. Early risk stratification is crucial in Acute Pancreatitis (AP). The BedSide Index for Severity in Acute Pancreatitis (BISAP) allows risk stratification at the time of hospital admission through a five-variable analysis. Several inflammatory markers have shown prognostic value in AP. Amongst them the Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio has the best predictive accuracy. The Harmless Acute Pancreatitis Scor...
