Abstract
Introduction: Acute pancreatitis is a common presentation of acute abdomen in emergency room. Identifying the patients who might develop
severe disease is a challenging task. Neutrophil-Lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is being used in various conditions to predict severity and same has been
extended to pancreatitis. Materials And Methods:We did as retrospective analysis of patients admitted with mild pancreatitis during the period of
March 2021 to July 2022 by comparing the NLR, BISAPscore in mild acute pancreatitis. Results:There were 26 patients admitted with mild acute
pancreatitis during this period, 20 males and 6 females. They belong to mean age group of 39.07years (SD 12.54). Gallstone and alcohol were most
common cause of pancreatitis. The mean NLR was 5.78 (SD 3.15). 20 patients had BISAPscore of 0. Conclusion: NLR is an economical, one time
investigation that can be done at the time of admission which can predict severity of pancreatitis. However, optimal cut-off values are yet to be
dened.
