There is a slight elevation in the age of enrolled patients and cut-off values (LEB: Life expectancy at birth). Ranson (Blamey et al., 1984); APACHEII–Acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (Wagner and Draper, 1984); SAPS II–Simplified Acute Physiology Score (Legall et al., 1993); JNP–Japanese Severity Score (Hirota et al., 2006); BALI–BUN, Age, LDH, IL-6 (Spitzer et al., 2006); BISAP–Bedside Index for Severity in Acute Pancreatitis (Wu et al., 2008).
