Abstract:
The values of the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Enquiry (Apache II) and the Simplified Acute Physiology Scores (SAPS) were compared with Ranson and Imrie scores to predict death after acute pancreatitis. Fifty-five (ten deaths) patients were evaluated. Patients who died had a mean score greater than those who survived. The accuracy of all scores was similar after 48 hours. The ICU (Intensive Care Unit) available at the time of admission may facilitate the early selection of patients for appropriate management.
