Abstract

The aim of the study is to evaluate the ability of BISAP score to predict mortality in acute pancreatitis patients, clinical features of Acute Pancreatitis are evaluated clinically and subjected to laboratory and radiological investigations as per the designed proforma. Data pertinent to the scoring systems will be recorded within 24 h of admission to the hospital. Once diagnosis is established the patient disease severity will be assessed by BISAP scoring system. Results: History of consumption of alcohol and the possibility of it being the etiological factor were found in 54 patients. Gall stone disease was attributed in 24 patients. Hyperlipidemia and drugs as causative factor presented in 02 patients in each category, respectively. There was clear cut history of blunt trauma with CT scan showed isolated pancreatic laceration presented in 04 cases. No cause could be attributed in rest of the 14 patients. Out of 100 patients, 08 patients presented with > 4 score and 92 patients presented with < 4. Conclusion: We concluded from this study, Alcohol (54 %) was found to be the most common etiological factor for acute pancreatitis. Males were most commonly affected than female with a ratio of 9:1. The most common age groups of patients affected were in 4th decade of life. The overall mortality in patients with severe acute pancreatitis was 8%. The BISAP score predicted disease severity and mortality significantly in this study, hence early identification and initiation of treatment can significantly alter the outcome.
