Abstract
A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted among patients with AP who were admitted at the De La Salle University Medical Center in Dasmariñas, Cavite from January 2016 to December 2020. The study protocol was approved by the hospital Institutional Review Board, the Independent Ethics Committee, and by the Data Privacy Office. A total of 90 patients with acute pancreatitis admitted at DLSUMC were included in the analysis. There were 57 patients in group 1 and 33 patients in group 2. Overall median length of hospital stay was five (5) days with significantly longer stay in group 2 with seven (&) days. Although, respiratory rate was similar between the 2 groups, it was statistically different because of the variation of the inter-quartile range values. A total of 41 patients had a BISAP score of 0, mostly from group 1, while group 2 mostly had a BISAP score of 2. Four (4) patients in group 2 had a BISAP score of 3 or 4 while group 1 had none and this was statistically significant. There were only (2) mortalities in this study and both came from group 2.
