Abstract
One important gastrointestinal condition that may vary in severity is acute pancreatitis (AP). The purpose of this research is to evaluate the predictive accuracy of the Computed Tomography Severity Index (CTSI) score in predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis when compared to the Bedside Index for Severity in Acute Pancreatitis (BISAP) score. Patients were given an acute pancreatitis diagnosis, their BISAP score was determined and they underwent CTSI scoring 48 hours after their symptoms first appeared. The data was analyzed by using SPSS software. The research comprised 50 participants with acute pancreatitis. The average age was between the range of 31‐40 years. AUC (area under the curve) was 0.80, PPV (positive predictive value) was 50%, NPV (negative predictive value) was 95.7% and sensitivity was 50% for the BISAP score. Specificity was 95.7%. The CTSI score had the following values: 100% for sensitivity, 56.5% for specificity, 16.7% for positive predictive value (PPV), 100% for negative predictive value (NPV) and 0.81 for area under the curve (AUC). Both the BISAP and CTSI scores are equally useful in predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis, with similar performance characteristics. However, the BISAP score may offer advantages in terms of simplicity and accessibility for initial risk stratification in clinical practice. The choice between these scoring systems should consider clinical context and resource availability.
