To the editor, We read with interest the paper by Knoepfli et al.[1] on the use of a 48-h CT
score as a predictor of severe disease in patients admitted with acute pancreatitis, which is …

OBJECTIVES: The early identification of clinically severe acute pancreatitis (AP) is critical for
the triage and treatment of patients. The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of …

We read with interest the paper by Gürleyik et al.[1] and the subsequent letter by Brestas and
Dafni regarding the use of ROC curve analysis [2]. We fully agree with Dr. Brestas that ROC …

Objective: This study was conducted to assess the correlation with patient outcome and
interobserver variability of a modified CT severity index (M-CTSI) in the evaluation of …

Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) has unpredictable severity. Its management is based
on initial assessment of disease severity. It ranges from mild interstitial to severe necrotic …

We aimed to identify the role that computed tomography (CT) plays in the emergency
services and during treatmentin the process of establishing an early diagnosis of acute …

Background: To assess the added value of established computed tomography (CT) scores
versus the Simplified Acute Physiology (SAP) score in predicting outcome in patients with …

To construct and internally and externally validate a nomogram model for predicting the
severity of acute pancreatitis (AP) based on the CT severity index (CTSI). A retrospective …

OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to develop a decision tree model for the early
prediction of the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP) using clinical and radiologic scoring …

PURPOSE:: To investigate the correlation between established contrast-enhanced
computed tomography (CECT) criteria of disease severity in acute pancreatitis and the …
