Background and Goals::  It has been shown that metrics like the Prognostic Nutrition Index (PNI) and the Controlled Nutrition Status (CONUT) score are useful for evaluating patients’ nutritional status. Our goal in this study was to examine the possible advantages of CONUT and the PNI as a predictive indicator of acute pancreatitis.
Materials and Procedures: A retrospective analysis of 361 patients’ data was conducted. These patients’ PNI and CONUT scores were determined after the fact.
They were divided into two groups: CONUT-low (≤2) and CONUT-high (≥3). PNI ≥ 45 was regarded as high, and PNI < 45 as low. Based on Atlanta 2012, the degree of AP and organ failure from illness were assessed.
Results: 152 patients had severe malnutrition, while 209 patients had normal to mild malnutrition based on the CONUT score. Of the 293 individuals with mild AP, 68 also had severe AP. Patients with a high CONUT score were more likely to have organ failure, be admitted to critical care units, and utilize antibiotics.Patients with a higher PNI score did not have any local problems, surgical requirements, mortality, or critical care hospitalizations. Conclusions: The PNI and CONUT have shown promise as prognostic indicators for assessing the severity and outcomes of AP in addition to predicting nutritional status
