Methods: A prospective study carried out in SDUAHER, Karnataka. Data was collected from patients admitted in the surgical wards with a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. PANC3 scoring was done on these patients and grading of pancreatitis was done. Results: A total of 31 patients were included in the present study. In the study mean age of subjects was 38.55 ? 7.70 years. Majority of subjects were in the age group 31 to 40 years (38.7%). 90.3% were males and 9.7% were females. In the study PAN3 score >0 had sensitivity of 77.78%, specificity of 100%, +PPV of 100% and -NPV of 91.7%.
