Evaluation of the BISAP score in predicting severity and prognosis of acute pancreatitis

2015 
s / Pancreatology 15 (2015) S1eS141 S63 single center. Outcomes included mortality, admission to intensive care unit (ICU), need of interventional procedure and total and ICU length of stay. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS v21.0. Results: 202 patients (59.4% female) were included of which 31.2% had been previously cholecystectomized. Overall, mortality (p1⁄40.208), need of interventions (p1⁄40.08) and total and ICU length of stay (p1⁄40.095 and p1⁄40.295) didnot differ between the twogroups.Althoughat admissionboth groups presented similar BISAP scores (p1⁄40.320), Revised Atlanta and Determinant-based-classification demonstrated a tendency for higher degreesof severity inpatientsnotpreviouslycholecystectomized (p1⁄40.014and p1⁄40.024). Admission to ICU (38.3% versus 21.8% UCI, p1⁄40.013), organ failure (37.3% versus 19.1%, p1⁄40.008) and persistent organ failure (34.7% versus 15.2%, p1⁄40.027) were more common in non-cholecystectomized patients. Conclusion: Although cholecystectomy may not prevent further episodes of acute pancreatitis, the outcome of this group seems to be less severe.
