SABP Score of Hong et al for Severe Acute Pancreatitis

Description

Hong et al reported the SABP score for predicting severe acute pancreatitis. This can help to identify a patient who may require more aggressive management. The authors are from the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University in Zhejiang.

SABP is an acronym for SIRS, albumin, BUN and pleural effusion.

Patient selection: acute pancreatitis

Parameters:

(1) SIRS

(2) serum albumin in g/L

(3) serum BUN in mg/dL

(4) pleural effusion

Parameter	Finding	Points
SIRS	no	0
	yes	2
serum albumin	>= 35 g/L	0
	30 to 34.9 g/L	1
	< 30 g/L	2
BUN	<= 25 mg/dL	0
	> 25 mg/dL	3
pleural effusion	no	0
	yes	3

total score =

= SUM(points for all of the parameters)

Interpretation:

• minimum score: 0

• maximum score: 10

Total Score	Risk Group	Percent Severe Pancreatitis
0 to 3	low	2%
4 to 6	moderate	13-15%
7 to 10	high	42%

Performance:

• The area under the ROC curve is 0.87.
