Value of serum procalcitonin levels and intraabdominal pressure in prognosis of severe acute pancreatitis course

Table 1 Single prognostic factors of severity in acute pancreatitis

n	Factor
1	C-reactive protein (> 170 mg/dL)
2	Procalcitonin (> 1.8 ng/mL)
3	Lactate concentrations (> 18 mg/dL)
4	Intraabdominal hypertension (> 25 mm Hg)
5	Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (> 3)

Table 2 Conventional prognostic scoring systems and combined factors in acute pancreatitis

n	Factor
1	Balthazar computed tomography score ≥ 4
2	Pleural infusion
3	Hematocrit (hemoconcentration > 10%)
4	Creatinine > 2 mg/dL
5	Albumin < 2.5 mg/dL
6	Glasgow score ≥ 3
7	APACHE II score ≥ 8
8	BISAP score ≥ 3
