The Perfect Way to Predict the Severity of Acute Pancreatitis: The Search Continues by Daniel C Sadowski

“…This study was designed to determine the clinical utility of three rating scales (Ranson's, Acute Physiology And Chronic Health Evaluation [APACHE] II and Glasgow) in predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis experienced by patients known to have human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). A retrospective analysis identified 73 patients with both acute pancreatitis and HIV who had been admitted to two Canadian hospitals between 1989 and 1999. …”
