Acute pancreatitis has become increasingly prevalent across the world, affecting nearly 85,000 individuals annually. Patients with acute pancreatitis experience significant rates of mortality in the emergency department (ED) and currently, there are no known drug treatments for the disease. Even though several long-term pancreatitis scoring systems exist (Ranson’s criteria, APACHE-II score, and the BISAP index), there is a paucity of early prognostic scores that apply to the ED triage.
