متن کاملRelation of diagnostic serum amylase levels to aetiology and severity of acute pancreatitis.
The sensitivity of diagnostic serum amylase (greater than 1000 iu/l) was assessed in 417 patients with acute pancreatitis as a result of gall stones (258), alcohol (104), or miscellaneous causes (55), of whom 111 (27%) had a clinically severe attack (including 34 deaths). On hospital admission, an amylase value diagnostic of pancreatitis was found in 96.1% of all mild cases and in 87.4% of seve...
متن کاملSeverity prediction in acute pancreatitis using the CT severity index. A self-fulfilling prophecy.
We read with interest the paper by Gürleyik et al. [1] and the subsequent letter by Brestas and Dafni regarding the use of ROC curve analysis [2]. We fully agree with Dr. Brestas that ROC curve analysis should be used to report the true discriminative power of a test, and are impressed by the performance of the CT severity index in predicting severe disease which was reported in reply to this l...
متن کاملChronic pancreatitis: relation to acute pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer.
The relationship between chronic pancreatitis (CP) and other pancreatic diseases, such as acute pancreatitis (AP) and pancreatic cancer (PK), remains a fairly debated question. The progression from alcoholic AP to CP is controversial, and some long-term epidemiological studies suggest that alcoholic CP might be the result of recurrent alcoholic AP (necrosis-fibrosis sequence) and a subgroup of ...
متن کاملComparison of serum procalcitonin with Ranson, APACHE-II, Glasgow and Balthazar CT severity index scores in predicting severity of acute pancreatitis.
BACKGROUND/AIMS The aim of this study is to assess serum procalcitonin (PCT) for early prediction of severe acute pancreatitis compared with multiple scoring systems and biomarkers. METHODS Forty-four patients with acute pancreatitis confirmed by radiological evidences, laboratory assessments, and clinical manifestation were prospectively enrolled. All blood samples and image studies were obt...
