The BISAP score is a bedside risk stratification tool for acute pancreatitis. It assigns one point each for BUN >25 mg/dL, impaired mental status, SIRS, age >60 years, and pleural effusion. Higher scores are associated with increased risk of severe disease, organ failure, and mortality.
Formula: BISAP = sum of 5 binary variables (BUN >25, altered mental status, SIRS, age >60, pleural effusion), total 0-5.
Higher BISAP scores indicate higher risk for severe acute pancreatitis outcomes and should prompt closer monitoring and reassessment.
Use this tool in confirmed or suspected acute pancreatitis to support early triage and level-of-care planning.
BISAP is a prognostic aid, not a treatment algorithm. Performance can vary by population and care setting, and serial clinical reassessment remains essential.
For related assessments, see Rockall Score, AIMS65 and MELD Score.
