Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 12
Abstract
Abstract : Acute pancreatitis is an acute inflammatory process involving pancreas and peri-pancreatic tissue, with a range of severity as well as various local and systemic complications. It is a common disorder causing substantial burden to the health care system. The process involved in acute pancreatitis is complex in which pancreatic damage is caused by pancreatic enzyme activation, which results in an acute inflammatory response. BISAP score is a 5 point bedside score. It is inexpensive to perform and easy to obtain. BISAP uses 5 points: Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) > 25mg/dl, impaired mental status evidenced by disorientation or disturbance in mental status, presence of SIRS, age > 60 years and Pleural Effusion . BISAP score has been shown to be accurate in predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis in western population.
