Relevance. Early detection of severe forms of acute pancreatitis remains an unsolved problem of urgent surgery.Objective of the study: early detection of prognostically unfavorable forms of the disease based on the constitutional characteristics of the patient.Materials and methods. A comparative prospective analysis of the clinical course of acute pancreatitis in 270 patients with an assessment of the prognostic significance of clinical, instrumental and anthropological data in the early diagnosis of severe forms of acute pancreatitis was carried out. In 179 patients there was a moderate and severe form of the disease, in 91 patients the disease was mild.Results and discussion. ROC analysis of the studied criteria showed that clinical and laboratory data on the first day of the disease are not reliable predictors of the risk of death. The somatotype and the amount of adipose tissue in the body (type of nutrition) showed a significant predictive value of AUC (0.768 and 0.655, p function show_eabstract() { $('#eabstract1').hide(); $('#eabstract2').show(); $('#eabstract_expand').hide(); }
