Early Warning Scores for Pancreatitis in Older Adults
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests two scoring systems to predict which older adults with acute pancreatitis may have more serious outcomes. The scores use vital signs (like heart rate and blood pressure) and blood calcium levels taken at hospital arrival to help doctors identify high-risk patients early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older
- You were admitted to the emergency department with acute pancreatitis (confirmed by symptoms, blood tests, or imaging)
- Your vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, etc.) were recorded when you arrived at the hospital
- A blood test measuring your calcium level was done when you arrived at the hospital
- Your complete medical records and hospital outcome information are available
- You were not transferred to another hospital before your hospital stay ended

This study looks at whether a blood test that combines a type of white blood cell (neutrophil) and a kidney measure (creatinine) can help predict how severe acute pancreatitis is and what the outcome might be for patients.
This trial looks at whether routine blood test results can help doctors predict how severe acute pancreatitis will be and how well patients may recover. It aims to find simple, early clues to guide treatment.
This study uses a special device to listen to bowel sounds to help predict how severe acute pancreatitis will be. The goal is to find a simple, non-invasive way to guide treatment.
This study looks at whether an upper endoscopy (a camera test to look inside your stomach and the first part of your small intestine) done within 24-48 hours of being admitted to the hospital can help guide treatment for acute pancreatitis. You may be able to join if you are an adult with a confirmed case of acute pancreatitis and are able to safely undergo this procedure.
This study looks at people with sudden pancreas inflammation (acute pancreatitis) to see if certain factors can predict how well they recover. It may help doctors better understand your condition and plan your care.
This trial looks at how severe acute pancreatitis works by using advanced tests on your body's germs, chemicals, and proteins. It may help find better ways to treat patients with this condition.
