[Early diagnosis of mild acute pancreatitis]

AIM

to analyze the efficacy of early detection of patients with mild acute pancreatitis.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

61 patients with acute pancreatitis who do not require intensive care were analyzed. Severity of condition was assessed using integral scales, i.e. modified index of severe pancreatitis severity (MITOP), BISAP, HAPS, SOFA, SIRS, CTSI and Atlanta classification (2012).

RESULTS

Verification of mild course of disease according to MITOP scores ≤0.23 and BISAP scores ≤1 for the first 24 hours after admission and CTSI scores ≤3 within first 72 hours had high accuracy [AUC (CI 95%) 0.79 (0.66-0.91); 0.76 (0.66-0.87) and 0.99 (0.97-1.00) respectively], sensitivity and specificity (88.8 and 43.7%; 71.1 and 75.0%; 100 and 83.3% respectively).

CONCLUSION

MITOP and BISAP scales are reliable to diagnose early mild acute pancreatitis. Their high positive diagnostic value (81.6 and 88.8%) allows to detect patients who do not require intensive care.

[Surgical and therapeutic treatment of acute pancreatitis]

It was analyzed the features of different forms of acute pancreatitis in 1001 patients including 324 cases with pancreatonecrosis and 245 patients with middle severity of disease. It was shown that monitoring of patients' condition and destructive process in pancreas by using of modified SOFA-scale and evaluation of sonographic signs of inflammation are advisable. Flow indicators including resistance index and the maximum flow velocity in celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery represented severity of gland's destruction. Sonographic investigation revealed small-focal pancreonecrosis. It allows to differentiate medical tactics. Surgical treatment was performed in 582 patients. Efficiency of surgical treatment is determined by diagnostic methods, timely sanation of destructive focuses of pancreas, abdominal cavity, retroperitoneal fiber, adequate drainage and mini-invasive techniques using in case of purulent complications. The main prognostic factors of development of complications and adverse outcomes are determined.
