Value of the revised Atlanta classification (RAC) and determinant-based classification (DBC) classification systems in the evaluation of acute pancreatitis.

Conclusion The DBC system had a higher accuracy at predicting organ failure. Age and ICU stay were significantly associated with risk of death in AP patients. A classification of CAP by the DBC system should warrant close attention, and rapid implementation of effective measures to reduce mortality. PMID: 28990794 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
