Fig. 2. —Graph shows correlation between length of hospital stay and
CT severity index score for pancreatitis using currently accepted (represented
by black bars) and modified (represented by white bars) CT severity indexes.
Although significant correlation (p = 0.035) was seen between
modified severity index score and length of hospital stay for all severity
groups (mean, 3 days for mild pancreatitis, 8 days for moderate pancreatitis,
and 12 days for severe pancreatitis), no significant correlation (p =
0.15) was seen between currently accepted index and length of hospital stay in
moderate and severe pancreatitis groups (mean, 9 and 11 days,
respectively).
