Ranson's Criteria in Pancreatitis
One set of criteria physicians use to predict the prognosis of a patient with pancreatitis is the Ranson's Criteria. These criteria focus on patient status on admission and then again at 48 hours after admission. I found a very useful guide on the National Center for Emergency Medicine Informatics website that will actually calculate the Ranson's score and predicted mortality rate for you.
