Computed tomography severity index and serum CRP concentration for predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis

Background: The assessment of the severity pancreatitis is important for management this challenging disease. An accurate system which could predict and identify local extent complications a serious inflammation beneficial patient outcome. aim was to establish value CTSI in predicting acute compare it with accuracy serum CRP concentrations.Methods: Prospective clinical study based on analysis 55 patients. Each underwent thorough biochemical CECT abdomen. within 5 days, level 48 hours after admission.Results: mean values predictive markers mild severe groups were: computed tomography index 1.26 6.30 (p<0.001) 96.0 mg/l 192.4 (p<0.001), respectively. sensitivity, specificity, positive value, negative were calculated (greater than 3: 85%, 98%, 92%, 95%, 95%) (equal to, or greater 150 mg/l: 74%, 50%, 94%, 76%).Conclusions: We found close correlation levels patients having score 3 had excess mg/l. incapable identifying complications. reliable method staging showing occurrence
