tailieunhanh - Clinical Pancreatology for Practising Gastroenterologists and Surgeons

In 1974, John Ranson published his seminal paper on the stratification of severity of clinical acute pancreatitis. Using statistical manipulation of 43 clinical and laboratory variables obtained from a consecutive series of 100 patients with acute pancreatitis, he was able to identify 11 “prognostic signs” that proved to be significantly associated with clinical severity, as measured by the development of morbidity or mortality. | Clinical Pancreatology for Practising Gastroenterologists and Surgeons Edited by J.
