Ransoms criteria (on admission) : GA LAW
o Upon admission the criteria used include
o glucose >200mg/dL,
o age > 55 years,
o LDH > 350IU/L,
o AST >250IU/dL and
o WBC >16,000/mL.
Ransom Criteria (within 48 hrs following admission):
o Calcium <8
o Decrease in Hct <10%
o PaO2 < 60 mmHg
o BUN increase > 5
o Base Deficit decrease < 4
o Sequestration of Fluid > 6L
Here is what I have in my notes: The mortality risk is 20% with 3-4 signs, 40% with 5-6 signs and 100% with greater than or equal to 7 signs. If the score ≥ 3, severe pancreatitis likely. If the score < 3, severe pancreatitis is unlikely. So, we count all 11 to calculate the risk?
