BACKGROUND: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common abdominal disorder, which requires early diagnosis and treatment. Several prognostic scoring systems introduced to clinical practice are not suitable in emergency department (ED) because these require much time and complex parameters. Recently, the harmless acute pancreatitis score (HAPS) has been introduced to identify AP with a nonsevere course. The aim of this study was to determine the utility of HAPS in predicting the severity of AP.
