5 de jun. de 2024 · The Balthazar score is a subscore within the CT severity index (CTSI) for grading of acute pancreatitis . The CTSI sums two scores: Balthazar score: grading of pancreatitis (A-E) grading the extent of pancreatic necrosis.
11 de dez. de 2020 · Com a finalidade de estadiar a pancreatite aguda (PA) e, consequentemente, predizer a sua mortalidade, os critérios de Balthazar foram introduzidos na prática médica por volta do ano de 1985 e têm na tomografia computadorizada (TC) a sua fonte de dados. O que avalia?
Os processos de necrose pancreática (Figura 1) podem desenvolver infecção (pode ser sugerido por presença de gás no tecido) em 30 a 70% dos casos, e esse risco aumenta com a extensão da área necrosada. Por isso, é importante conhecermos os critérios de Balthazar.

The Balthazar score or the Computed Tomography Severity Index (CTSI) as it is also known, evaluates the pancreatitis grade and necrosis to determine a severity score. This is then associated with mild, moderate or severe AP. The Balthazar Grade component of the score is: ■ Grade A – Normal CT; ■ Grade B – Focal or diffuse enlargement of the pancrea...
Each of the two components of the score is awarded a number of points, depending on the severity aspect. The score varies between 0 and 10 and increases proportionally with the severity of AP. CT severity index = CT grade points + Necrosis points The results are correlated with the three degrees of acute pancreatitis severity: ■ 0 – 3 points indica...
Computed tomography is the main investigation in the diagnosis of AP, along laboratory tests (blood and urine). There are certain clinical criteria that indicate the patient should undergo CT: ■ Abdominal distension and tenderness present; ■ Uncertain diagnosis; ■ Fever and/or leukocytosis; ■ No improvement after 72 hours of conservative medical th...

4 de fev. de 2022 · Introduced by Balthazar in 1994, the Balthazard grading scale can assess AP severity based on the appearance of the pancreas in computed tomography (CT) scans, stratifying AP patients into grades A - E. 16 This system has proven to be superior to many of the other clinical scoring methods discussed above, 18, 19 but it is also ...

The prognostic performances of radiological and clinical scoring systems of 329 patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis were compared in terms of C-reactive protein-albumin ratio (CAR) levels, mortality and severity according to Balthazar score.
26 de jul. de 2021 · The Balthazar score was calculated using both modalities based on the appearance of the pancreas (score 0–4). The association between the Balthazar scores with CT and ultrasound was evaluated using single linear regression analysis. To evaluate the sonographic accuracy, the ultrasound severity index and findings were compared with those of CT.
