BISAP Score for Pancreatitis Mortality



A simple mnemonic of risk factors for mortality in acute pancreatitis.  A BISAP score ≥3 identifies patients at high risk for mortality.  Compared to Ranson’s and APACHE II, the BISAP score is simpler and equally effective for early mortality prediction.



B - BUN >25 mg/dL (8.92 mmol/L)

I - Impaired mental status

S - SIRS (≥2 criteria)

A - Age >60 years

P - Pleural effusion present
