Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Ransons Prognostic Score, Glasgow Prognostic Score and the CT Severity Index correlate with each other in cases of Acute Pancreatitis. For mild cases of Acute Pancreatitis, Glasgow Prognostic Scoring system and Ransons Prognostic Score may be adequate to prognosticate the disease.CT scan may not be done if there is improvement in symptoms with conservative management or in patients with mild, uncomplicated pancreatitis.Timepoint: 72 hours

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
CT scan may not be done if there is improvement in symptoms with conservative management or in patients with mild, uncomplicated pancreatitis.Timepoint: CT scan is done after 72 hours of admission.
