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
- 500 U/L
- Albumin
- 35 g/L
- Glucose
- 12 mmol/L
Result: Modified Glasgow (Imrie) 4: predicts severe pancreatitis (>= 3); 8 of 8 items assessed.
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What the result means
