About the Calculator

The Glasgow Imrie score is a modification of Ranson’s criteria used to predict the outcome in acute pancreatitis. Originally composed of 9 factors, it was later reduced to 8 components due to superior predictive value. A score of three or more positive criteria, based on blood tests taken on admission and repeated within 48 hours, is indicative of severe pancreatitis and may require transfer to a higher acuity unit.

A score is determined by assigning one point for each of the criteria outlined below.
