Comparison of BISAP Score with Ranson's Score in Determining the Severity of Acute XXXX .

@entity1 @entity788 @entity39 @entity195
OBJECTIVE: To determine the accuracy of BISAP score in finding out the frequency of severity and mortality in @entity1 with acute @entity788 by comparing it with @entity195 . STUDY DESIGN: Crosse-sectional study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY: Department of Surgery, Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad, from April to December 2010. METHODOLOGY: Atotal of 80 @entity1 who presented in emergency with acute @entity788 were included by consecutive non probability sampling technique. Cases of acute @entity788 were classified as mild or severe based on the organ failure criteria and/or local complications according to the Atlanta Symposium. All @entity1 were scored according to both @entity195 and BISAP score. RESULTS: Out of 80 @entity1 , 35 (44%) were males and 45 (56%) were females. The mean age was 46.89    15.75 years. Twenty five @entity1 (31.25%) were classified as severe acute @entity788 and 3 @entity1 (3.75%) had evidence of @entity39 on CT scan. The duration of hospital stay was 1 - 54 days with a mean of 13.12    12.83 days and mortality rate was 5%. The number of @entity1 with a BISAP score of >=  3 was 15 and @entity195 >=  3 was 25. The observed incidence of severe disease stratified by the BISAP score has (p < 0.001) and by @entity195 has (p < 0.001). In regards to mortality, @entity1 having BISAP score >=  3 has p=0.003, while @entity1 having @entity195 >=  3 has p=0.002, both are statistically significant. CONCLUSION: The newly proposed BISAP score is a simple and accurate tool for severity stratification and is equally effective in finding out frequency of severity and in turns mortality in @entity1 with acute @entity788 as @entity195 .
