Evaluation of the modified computed tomography severity index (MCTSI) and computed tomography severity index (CTSI) in predicting severity and clinical outcomes in acute pancreatitis.

Objective: Our main purpose was to compare the modified computed tomography severity index (MCTSI), computed tomography severity index (CTSI), and acute physiological and chronic health evaluation (APACHE)-II predictions regarding severity according to the revised Atlanta classification 2012 and local complications in acute pancreatitis in a consecutive prospective cohort.

Methods: One hundred and forty-nine patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis were prospectively enrolled. APACHE-II, MCTSI, and CTSI were calculated for all cases.
