Background - Because of the variability and seeming unpredictability of acute pancreatitis, clinical scoring systems have been developed to predict the severity of acute pancreatitis like Ranson’s scale, BISAP, SAP, Glasgow scale. Aim- To evaluate the ability of BISAP plus Serum CRP in predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis. Material and method-This Prospective observational study included a total of 50 patients admitted to surgery department of Rajindra Hospital,Patiala, diagnosed to have Acute Pancreatitis(AP), BISAP score and serum CRP were calculated. Results -BISAP plus CRP score in acute pancreatitis, proved to be better predicting pancreatic necrosis with area under curve 0.671 ,p value is less than 0.05 data is significant. With sensitivity 95.8% and NPV 90.9%. Conclusion- We conclude that addition of CRP with BISAP score has benefit in detecting severity of acute pancreatitis. Key words: Pancreatitis, C-Reactive Protein, BISAP score.
