Prediction of Outcome in Acute Pancreatitis by the qSOFA and the New ERAP Score.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Early identification of patients with acute severe pancreatitis is important for prompt and adequate treatment. Existing scores for pancreatitis are often laborious or require serial patient evaluation, whereas the qSOFA score, that was established to predict outcome in patients with suspected infection, is simple to perform.

Aims and methods

In this cohort study, we analyse the potential of the qSOFA score to predict outcome of patients with acute pancreatitis and refine the qSOFA score by rapid available laboratory parameters to the emergency room assessment of acute pancreatitis (ERAP) score. Validation was performed in a separate patient cohort.

Results

In total 203 patients with acute pancreatitis were recruited. The qSOFA score has the potential to pr
