Background/Aim
Acute pancreatitis is encountered in both medical and surgical specialty. Assessment of severity and grading is done using radiological investigations mostly like ultrasonography or CECT. We present a study to assess the severity of Acute Pancreatitis based on Bedside Index for Severity in Acute Pancreatitis (BISAP) scoring system.

Material & Methods
The study was conducted on 50 patients presenting with acute pancreatitis who were included as per inclusion criteria and a detailed history, clinical examination and blood investigation performed. Data like serum amylase, serum lipase, serum calcium, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), pleural effusion and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) was collected from the patients. Based on data collected in 24 hours of hospitalization, BISAP score was calculated.

Results
Results showed that no significant temperature rise, pancreatic necrosis, SIRS or impaired mental status in patients with BISAP severity of <=3. However, patients having BISAP score >3, factors like BUN, age, pleural effusion, and organ failure show significant correlation. Also on comparative analysis of patients showed that the hospital stay, respiratory rate, pulse and laboratory markers (blood urea, serum creatinine, serum amylase, serum lipase) were significantly higher in patients with BISAP score ≥3.

Conclusion
BISAP score is an easy, quick and bedside method to assess the severity of acute pancreatitis and predict its mortality. It is easy bedside procedure that can be done in every setup.
