Comparison of BAR, BISAP and NEWS Scores in Predicting Mortality in Patients with Acute Pancreatitis

Abstract

Objective: Acute pancreatitis is a gastrointestinal emergency with a high mortality rate. Multiple biomarkers and scoring systems are used to predict mortality in acute pancreatitis. Traditional methods such as BISAPS (Bedside Index of Severity of Acute Pancreatitis Score) and NEWS (National Early Warning Score) contain too many parameters. To predict mortality in patients with acute pancreatitis who apply to the emergency department with the BUN/Albumin ratio (BAR). Material and Method: Patients who were admitted to the emergency department between 01/01/2021 and 31/12/2022 and whose lipase value was more than three times the reference value were included in our study by retrospectively scanning hospital data.Patients were divided into two groups according to in-hospital mortality. BAR, BISAP and NEWS values of all patients were calculated and compared. Result: In the ROC analysis performed to evaluate the mortality predictive power; AUC values of NEWS 0.637 (0.546-0.727), BISAPS 0.684 (0.589-0.779), BAR 0.748 (0.663-0.832) were obtained. In the logistic regression analysis; BAR was found to be the highest independent predictor of in-hospital mortality of acute pancreatitis. It was found that a 1 unit increase in BAR increased in-hospital mortality by 1,071 times. Conclusions: BAR is more effective in predicting mortality than NEWS and BISAPS in patients with acute pancreatitis who present to the emergency department.
