Abstract

Background: Acute pancreatitis is one of the most common abdominal pathologies having variable outcome ranging from self limiting abdominal pain to high mortality and morbidity due to organ failure, over the past five decades, various classification systems have emerged to classify pancreatitis according to its severity , and the associated complications have emerged to classify acute pancreatitis and its various complications, such as Apache Scoring , Ct Severity , Modified Ct Severity ,Ransen and Atlanta Classification.
 Objectives: We in our study will be classifying patients suffering from acute pancreatitis according to the revised Atlanta classification to divide them into interstitial edematous pancreatitis and necrotizing pancreatitis. The local complications will be classified according to CT imaging findings into acute necrotic collection, psuedocyst, acute necrotic collection and walled of necrosis. Organ failure will be assessed according to modified marshal scoring system into transient or persistent organ failure.
 Methodology: We will be carrying forward our study on Siemens 16 slice computer tomography machine over a sample of 140 patients coming to the outpatient department of our hospital which will be followed by a routine clinical follow up of the patient to find out their prognosis.
 Results: Will be tabulated at the end of the study using SPSS version 26 software.
 Conclusion: The revised Atlanta classification for acute pancreatitis, in conjunction with the Modified Marshall Scoring System for organ failure, if found useful, in our series in improving the prognosis of the patients, then it can be incorporated in management.

Highlights

  • 1.1 BackgroundAcute pancreatitis (AP) a common abdominal pathology having a wide clinical spectrum with its prevalence increasing every year in India .Current prevalence stands at 7.9 per 100,000 with men and women having prevalence of 8.6 and 8.0 per 100,000 respectively in India

  • The revised Atlanta classification for acute pancreatitis, in conjunction with the Modified Marshall Scoring System for organ failure, if found useful, in our series in improving the prognosis of the patients, it can be incorporated in management

  • The modified Atlanta classification helps in classifying the acute pancreatitis into mild, moderate and severe categories keeping clinical, laboratorical and radiological parameters in consideration, being accurate, cheap and convenient way of classifying acute pancreatitis

Summary

Introduction

1.1 BackgroundAcute pancreatitis (AP) a common abdominal pathology having a wide clinical spectrum with its prevalence increasing every year in India .Current prevalence stands at 7.9 per 100,000 with men and women having prevalence of 8.6 and 8.0 per 100,000 respectively in India. Over last many decades many scoring systems have been designed to assess the prognosis of the patient, which consider clinical and laboratory data for the accurate and early detection of patients at greatest risk of developing clinically severe AP(acute pancreatitis). These scoring systems have been accurate for 70% to 80% of times. Acute pancreatitis is one of the most common abdominal pathologies having variable outcome ranging from self limiting abdominal pain to high mortality and morbidity due to organ failure, over the past five decades, various classification systems have emerged to classify pancreatitis according to its severity , and the associated complications have emerged to classify acute pancreatitis and its various complications, such as Apache Scoring , Ct Severity , Modified Ct Severity ,Ransen and Atlanta Classification.
