CT severity index and c reactive protein as predictors of mortality in patient with necrotizing pancreatitis
Keywords:
necrotizing pancreatitis; CT severity index; C-reactive protein; mortality predictionAbstract
Necrotizing pancreatitis carries a high risk of morbidity and mortality, and early predictors areessential for guiding management. This prospective study aimed to evaluate the prognostic valueof computed tomography severity index (CTSI) and serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels at admission for predicting
