使用场景

•Assessing acute pancreatitis severity at admission and 48 hours.
•Identifying patients requiring ICU-level care.

Ranson criteria are 11 clinical and laboratory markers used to predict the severity and mortality of acute pancreatitis. Five criteria are assessed at admission and six at 48 hours.

How are Ranson criteria interpreted?

Score 0–2: <1% mortality. Score 3–4: ~15%. Score 5–6: ~40%. Score 7–11: ~100%. Scores ≥3 indicate severe pancreatitis.
