Study summary

The goal of this observational study is to compare the prognostic value of different nutritional screening tools to predict the course of acute pancreatitis.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Which nutritional screening tool performs best to predict length of hospital stay?
* Which nutritional screening tool performs best to predict clinical outcome (disease severity, length of hospital stay, mortality, need for rehospitalization)?

Participants will answer questions regarding their nutritional status and undergo basic anthropometric assessments (e.g. measurement of waist circumference) to evaluate their risk of malnutrition.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Relation of Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 to length of hospital stay — Baseline
  Association between Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002) result and length of hospital stay. NRS-2002 score ranges from 0 to 7, with higher values indicating greater nutritional risk.
