*“…………………….acute pancreatitis is the
most terrible of all the calamities occurring
in conjunction with the abdominal viscera.”
*Arch.surgery 1925 81, 132;42
3. Background
• Acute inflammatory disease of pancreas with
wide clinical variation and outcome varies
according to the severity
• Categorization of severity – one of the key
elements of the classification
• First attempt to classify severity of
pancreatitis – Reginald Fitz in 1889
considering morphological component in the
classification
4. Atlanta Classification
• A clinically based classification system for acute
pancreatitis. Summary of the International
Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis. Atlanta, Ga,
September 11 through 13, 1992 (46 international
authority from 6 discipline)
• Attempted to create an ideal classification
system for acute pancreatitis that would be
simple, objective, quantitative, noninvasive and
accurate
Bradley EL, Arch Surgery, 1993, May, 128(5):586-90
5. Atlanta Classification (AF)
• Remained gold standard for nearly 16
years
• Confusion aroused because of different
guideline within AC with new guideline
such as UK guideline, American guide line
and similar guide line from other countries
• Terminologies are defined differently by
different group
6. Limitation of AC
• It divides acute pancreatitis into two group only
with mild (no organ failure) severe (with local
complications and persistent organ failure and
high mortality) requiring intervention and ICU
care.
• Does not cover transient organ failure who
requires ICU care and some form of intervention
• Many of the definition proved confusing
7. Limitations of Atlanta classification
• Broad definition of severe acute pancreatitis
• Lack of differentiation between transient and persistent
organ failure
• Criteria for organ failure defined in Atlanta not used
uniformly
• Definition of local complications not uniform
• GI bleeding is not common occurrence

8. Acute pancreatitis classification
working group
• Revision of Atlanta classification and definitions
of collections associated with AP has been
proposed by Acute Pancreatitis Classification
Working Group in 2007
• 3rd revision based on worldwide
review/suggestions published in 2009

9. The goal of the group
The goal of new classification is to update
AC, clarify previous areas of confusion,
improve clinical assessment and
management, and standardized means of
data collection for future studies to allow
objective evaluation of new therapies

12. Rationale of the study
• Tertiary care hospital
• No such study has been conducted in the past
as the concept is being investigated recently
• This study has been carried out to see whether
the classification system is feasible in our set up.
13. Aims and Objectives
• To describe the demographics, etiology and
severity predictors in acute pancreatitis
• To determine the proportion of MSAP and to
validate this subgroup in patients with acute
pancreatitis
14. Study design
• Prospective observational study
• Carried out in patients admitted with the diagnosis of acute
pancreatitis from Sept 2008 to March 2010
• Surgical Gastroenterology units of Department of Surgery, Tribhuvan
University Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal.
• Informed consent
• Ethical clearance
15. Inclusion/Exclusion criteria
• Inclusion criteria
All patients ≥ 18 years with two of the following
diagnostic criteria
• Abdominal pain suggestive of pancreatic origin
• Serum amylase and/ or lipase ≥3 times normal
• Radiological findings compatible with acute pancreatitis
UK guidelines for management of acute pancreatitis 2005
• Exclusion criteria
Alternative diagnosis
Those patients that left against medical advise
16. Data collection
• Data regarding
– Need for ICU care, length of ICU stay, length of
hospital stay, need for surgical intervention, death
(Primary outcome variables)
– Patient demographics, diagnostic criteria, predicted
severity according to Ranson’s criteria, etiology, local
and systemic complications (Secondary outcome
variables)
17. Study procedure
• Patients with OF (transient/persistent) admitted in
ICU, rest in the ward
• Aggressive medical management
• Need for intervention defined as need for
endotracheal intubation, ionotropic support,
hemodialysis and minimally invasive and surgical
intervention for the local complications
• Development of local complications or organ failure
18. Study procedure
• Patients divided into 3 groups depending upon
the presence of organ failure and local
complications
– Mild acute pancreatitis (MAP)
– Moderately severe acute pancreatitis (MSAP)
– Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP)
• Comparison was made between the three
groups
19. Statistical analysis
• SPSS version 11.5
• Continuous variables expressed as mean ±
standard deviation and categorical variables as
frequency and percentage
• Independent t-test and Chi square tests
• Confidence interval 95%
• p value < 0.05 taken as statistically significant

33. Discussion
• Group from Mayo Clinic proposed new group MSAP
• High morbidity as SAP and low mortality as MAP
• Prospective validation done by the same group
• Total of 82 patients: MSAP – 12 (14.6%)
• This study, total 172 patients: MSAP – 57 (33.1%)

36. Discussion
• This study showed that MAP, MSAP, SAP as
classified according to the structural alterations
and functional effects, exist as different groups
in terms of need for ICU, need for intervention,
length of ICU stay, hospital stay and death.
• However, this study did not show that MSAP had
prolonged hospitalization as SAP as shown by
other studies.
37. Conclusion
• This study showed that MSAP having local
complications without OF exist as exclusive
entity different from MAP and SAP.
• We need to work closely with other groups to
validate in large number of patients and
recommend for inclusion of MSAP
