Modified Glasgow (Imrie) Pancreatitis Severity

Modified Glasgow (Imrie) pancreatitis score: one point each for PaO2 < 60, age > 55, WBC > 15, calcium < 2, urea > 16, LDH > 600, albumin < 32, glucose > 10; a total >= 3 predicts severe pancreatitis.

Example

PaO2
55 kPa
Age
60 years
White blood cell count
12 x10^9/L
Calcium
2.2 mmol/L
Urea
20 mmol/L
LDH

35 g/L
Glucose
12 mmol/L

Result: Modified Glasgow (Imrie) 4: predicts severe pancreatitis (>= 3); 8 of 8 items assessed.
