Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is as an inflammation of the pancreas with varied range of complication like peri-pancreatic collection, pancreatic necrosis, renal failure, multi-organ dysfunction syndrome which increases mortality rate and morbidity. Majority of AP cases are mild but severe cases of AP are associated with increased complication and mortality. BISAP is simple bedside prognostic scoring system for predicting severity of AP. BISAP is a collection of simple routine investigation and scores are quantified at 24hours of onset of AP. This study aims to assess prognosis of AP cases at ESIC Medical college and Post Graduate Institute of Medical Science and Research, Bangalore, Karnataka, India.
Methods: A prospective study of 60 Patients who were diagnosed as AP according to RAC. All patients were admitted in high dependency unit with close observation of vital parameters and investigations were done at 24 hours of onset of AP. BISAP score >3 was considered as Severe Acute Pancreatitis, its correlation with local complications, organ failure, ICU stay and Mortality was studied. Statistical analysis done using Chi-square test and Fisher Exact test for local complications and organ failure using xL Stat and SPSS v.21.0, a p-value <0.05 was considered to be significant.
Results: Of the 60 patients, BISAP score was >3 and <3 in 15 and 45 patients respectively. Alcohol was the most common cause of acute pancreatitis, accounting for 53.33%. In current study 12 (20%) patients developed organ failure and among them 9 (75%) had transient organ failure and 3 (25%) had persistent organ failure. Total 8 (13%) patients had developed pancreatic necrosis and among them 6 had BISAP >3. Mortality rate in this study was 2%.
Conclusions: The BISAP score is a simple and fairly accurate method for the early identification of patients at increased risk for in hospital mortality and to identify patients at risk of the development of intermediate markers of severity and organ failure within 24 hours of presentation.
