RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To identify the score that best predicts early severity in patients with acute pancreatitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective cohort study was performed from December 2009 to December 2011. Cases of pancreatitis were classified as mild or severe based on the organ failure criteria and/or local complications according to the Atlanta Symposium. APACHE-II, BISAP and urea were calculated using data from the first 24 hours. Ranson was calculated using data from the first 48 hours. Hemoconcentratión was assessed 24 hours from admission, after adequate hydration. To assess the predictive value of the different scores the area under the curve ROC was used. RESULTS: 329 patients with acute pancreatitis were included: 214 women (65%) and 115 males (35%). The most common etiology was biliary 245 (74.3%). Two hundred and forty were mild cases of pancreatitis (73%) and 89 were severe (27%). The areas under the curve ROC were: APACHE-II: 0.74; BISAP: 0.78; Ranson: 0.48; urea: 0.70; hemoconcentratión: 0.73. There were 10 deaths (mortality: 3%). There were no significant differences between BISAP and APACHE-II, urea or hemoconcentration, but a significant difference existed with Ranson score. CONCLUSION: BISAP is a simple score that applied early in the emergency room identifies patients with severe pancreatitis with an efficacy similar to APACHE-II, urea and hemoconcentration, and KEY WORDS: acute pancreatitis, BISAP, severity, prognostic scoring.

OBJETIVO: Identificar el indicador que mejor predice la severidad en forma temprana en pacientes con pancreatitis aguda. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Se realizó un estudio de cohorte prospectiva entre diciembre del 2009 y diciembre del 2011. Se clasificó los cuadros de pancreatitis aguda en leve y severa en base a los criterios de falla orgánica o complicaciones locales según el Simposio de Atlanta. Los indicadores de APACHE-II, BISAP y urea fueron calculados usando los datos de las primeras 24 horas de admisión. El indicador de Ranson se calculó con datos de las primeras 48 horas. La hemoconcentración se calculó a las 24 horas de la admisión después de una adecuada hidratación. Para evaluar la capacidad predictiva de los diferentes indicadores se utilizó el área bajo la curva ROC. RESULTADOS: Ingresaron al estudio 329 pacientes con pancreatitis aguda: doscientos catorce mujeres (65%) y 115 varones (35%). La etiología más frecuente fue la biliar 245 (74.3%). Doscientos cuarenta fueron pancreatitis leves (73%) y 89 pancreatitis severas (27%). Las áreas bajo la curva ROC de los indicadores fueron: APACHE-II: 0.74; BISAP: 0.78; Ranson: 0.48; urea: 0.70; hematocrito a las 24 horas: 0.73. Se registraron 10 muertes (mortalidad: 3%). No se observó diferencias significativas del indicador BISAP con el indicador de APACHE-II, con la urea ni la hemoconcentración, pero sí con el puntaje de Ranson. CONCLUSIÓN: BISAP es un score sencillo que aplicado tempranamente en la emergencia identifica pacientes con cuadro clínico severo con eficacia similar al APACHE-II, urea y hemoconcentración; y mejor que Ranson.

A choledochal cyst is a cystic dilation of the intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary tract. According to the most accepted theory, it is caused by an anomalous pancreatobiliary junction. The most important complications are cholangiocarcinoma, lithiasis, and pancreatitis. Current therapy is surgical resection. Only 20% to 30% of cases are diagnosed in adult life. Two cases of choledochal cysts are reported in female adult patients, one of them in late pregnancy and the other in puerperium. Diagnosis of choledochal cyst in pregnancy and puerperium is an uncommon event, entailing particular considerations regarding symptoms and treatment.

El quiste de colédoco consiste en la dilatación quística de la vía biliar intrahepática o extrahepática. Según la teoría mas aceptada, es causado por una anormalidad de la unión biliopancreática. Sus complicaciones más importantes son colangiocarcinoma, litiasis biliar, y pancreatitis, y su terapia es la resección quirúrgica. Sólo 20 por ciento a 30 por ciento de los casos se diagnostican en la vida adulta. Se reportan dos casos de quiste de colédoco en pacientes femeninas adultas, una de ellas al final de la gestación, y la otra puérpera. El diagnóstico de quiste de colédoco en la gestación y puerperio es un evento inusual que tiene consideraciones propias en cuanto a presentación y manejo.
