Etiological Profile and Clinical Predictors of Severity in Acute Pancreatitis: A Comparative Evaluation Using BISAP and Ranson Scores

Abstract

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a potentially life-threatening inflammatory condition of the pancreas with varied etiologies and clinical presentations. Accurate early prediction of disease severity is crucial for effective management and triage. This study aimed to assess the etiological profile of AP and evaluate the predictive performance of BISAP and Ranson scoring systems in a tertiary care center.
