The Apache 2 criteria for acute pancreatitis is a system designed to assess the severity of a patient's condition at the time of admission into a hospital. It uses a combination of laboratory tests, physical examination, imaging studies, and patient characteristics to classify the severity of the illness. The criteria assigns a score between 0 and 72, with higher scores indicating a more severe illness. A score of 0-4 is classified as mild, 5-8 as moderate, and 9-72 as severe.
