Ranson criteria for determining prognosis of acute pancreatitis, at admission
@ admission = GA LAW
- Glucose > 200
- AST > 250
- LDH > 350
- Age > 60
- WBC > 16
Ranson criteria for determining prognosis of acute pancreatitis, in first 48 h
Calvin and HOBBS
- sCa2+ < 8
- HCT decreased > 10%
- PO2 < 60 mmHg
- BUN increase > 5
- Base deficit > 4
- Sequestration of fluid > 6L
Associated mortality per Ranson criteria score
0 - 2 = 0 - 3% mortality
3 - 5 = 11 - 15% mortality
6 - 11 = > 40% mortality
