ABSTRACT
Objectives: To determine CRP levels and BISAP scores in patients with acute pancreatitis; To
assess the prognostic value of CRP compared to BISAP in predicting the severity and necrosis
of acute pancreatitis.
Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 acute pancreatitis
patients who were monitored and treated at Cho Ray Hospital from December 2021 to August
2022.
Results: The mean CRP levels at admission and after 48 hours were 231.6 ± 134.9 and 201.1
± 102.0 (mg/L), respectively (p < 0.001). The BISAP score was 2.11 ± 0.96 in the severe
acute pancreatitis group and 1.1 ± 0.91 in the non-severe group (p < 0.001). CRP at admission
(cut-off 328 mg/L) had a prognostic value for severe acute pancreatitis and necrosis with an
AUC of 0.72 (p < 0.05). CRP after 48 hours (cut-off 210 mg/L) had a prognostic value for
severe acute pancreatitis with an AUC of 0.689 (p = 0.012) but no prognostic value for
necrotizing acute pancreatitis. BISAP showed moderate predictive value for severe acute
pancreatitis and necrotizing acute pancreatitis with AUCs of 0.771 (p < 0.001) and 0.742 (p <
0.0001), respectively.
Conclusions: CRP has value in predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis, making it suitable
for rapid assessment of the patient’s condition and progression to make appropriate and timely
treatment decisions.
Keywords: BISAP, CRP, acute pancreatitis, severity, death.
