Methodology · worked example, guidelines & full notes
≥ 3 predicts severe pancreatitis.
When to use
Predict severe acute pancreatitis within 48 hours.
How it works
1 point each: PaO₂ < 60, age > 55, WBC > 15, calcium < 8 mg/dL, urea > 16 mmol/L, LDH > 600, albumin < 3.2, glucose > 180 mg/dL. ≥ 3 severe.
Key points
- ≥ 3 predicts severe pancreatitis.
- Assessed within 48 h of admission.
- BISAP and revised Atlanta criteria are also used.

Worked calculation
The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.
| PaO₂ < 60 mmHg (8 kPa) | No |
|---|---|
| Age > 55 | No |
| WBC > 15 ×10⁹/L | No |
| Calcium < 8 mg/dL (2 mmol/L) | No |
| Urea > 16 mmol/L (BUN > 45 mg/dL) | No |
| LDH > 600 U/L (or AST > 200) | No |
| Albumin < 3.2 g/dL | No |
| Glucose > 180 mg/dL (10 mmol/L) | No |
→Glasgow-Imrie0/8
- Interpretation：< 3 — predicted mild.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- What are the limits and cautions when using Glasgow-Imrie Score (Pancreatitis)?
- For licensed clinicians and clinical researchers. Interpret results with history, investigations and local protocols; not a diagnosis or prescription, and not a substitute for multidisciplinary decision-making or local guidelines.
- Does Glasgow-Imrie Score (Pancreatitis) upload patient data? Where is it calculated?
- Calculation runs locally in the browser; inputs and results are not uploaded. For licensed clinicians only; interpret with history, investigations and local protocols — not a diagnosis or prescription.
- How is Glasgow-Imrie Score (Pancreatitis) calculated in practice? Can you show a worked example?
- Inputs: PaO₂ < 60 mmHg (8 kPa) No, Age > 55 No, WBC > 15 ×10⁹/L No, Calcium < 8 mg/dL (2 mmol/L) No, Urea > 16 mmol/L (BUN > 45 mg/dL) No, LDH > 600 U/L (or AST > 200) No, Albumin < 3.2 g/dL No, Glucose > 180 mg/dL (10 mmol/L) No → Result: Glasgow-Imrie 0 /8（Interpretation: < 3 — predicted mild.） Inputs: PaO₂ < 60 mmHg (8 kPa) Yes (+1), Age > 55 Yes (+1), WBC > 15 ×10⁹/L Yes (+1), Calcium < 8 mg/dL (2 mmol/L) Yes (+1), Urea > 16 mmol/L (BUN > 45 mg/dL) Yes (+1), LDH > 600 U/L (or AST > 200) Yes (+1), Albumin < 3.2 g/dL Yes (+1), Glucose > 180 mg/dL (10 mmol/L) Yes (+1) → Result: Glasgow-Imrie 8 /8（Interpretation: ≥ 3 indicates severe (predicted) acute pancreatitis.）
