Abstract

ABSTRACT

Objective: to apply the severity index scale in acute pancreatitis (BISAP, for its acronym in English) to patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis in the hospital Homero Castanier Crespo, Azogues January 2016 to December 2017.

Methodology: a quantitative, descriptive and retrospective study was carried out, the universe of all the doctors diagnosed of acute pancreatitis was worked from January 2016 to December 2017. The elaborated forms were applied. The data is analyzed with the SPSS version 20 and Excel programs, using frequency distributions and percentages.

Results: 79 cases were studied, finding an average age of 48.5 years; 57% corresponded to the female sex. A general mortality of 12.7% was obtained; the mild form being 79.7% of the cases without deaths; contrasting with the serious form with 20.3%, of which 62.5% died.

Conclusions: BISAP proved to be a mortality predictor, accessible, fast and useful. You can see a tendency to increase mortality at the same time in the score of the escalation, being this directly proportional to the incidence of local and systemic complications of the disease.
