A comparison of the BISAP score and serum procalcitonin for predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis

Background/Aims The bedside index of severity in acute pancreatitis (BISAP) is a new, convenient, prognostic multifactorial scoring system. As more data are needed before clinical application, we compared BISAP, the serum procalcitonin (PCT), and other multifactorial scoring systems simultaneously.
