Episode Synopsis

Predicting severity in acute pancreatitis matters — it guides where patients go, how closely we watch them, and how aggressively we manage fluids and complications. Two of the most commonly used tools are Ranson’s Criteria and the BISAP Score.
Ranson’s offers a comprehensive, data-rich assessment once labs and time points are available, while BISAP gives a fast, bedside estimate of mortality risk that’s perfect for the early phase of care.
