s / Pancreatology 15 (2015) S1eS141 S115 Results: Both underwent a surgical intervention with curative intention: the first, after preoperative biliary dreinage was candidate to a Whipple resection, the second to a distal pancreatectomy. After laparotomy, both patients showed palpable hepatic metastases radiologically not evident at preoperative imaging. The first patient was surgically derived and in both cases liver biopsy confirmed a PDAC and a palliative chemotherapy was programmed. Conclusion: This is the first report of EOPC both schizophrenic and in an advanced stage possibly reflecting an underlining predisposition. Clinical/radiological assessments should be performed, especially in young schizophrenics with suggestive symptoms, to avoid the missing of early cancer diagnosis.

s / Pancreatology 13 (2013) e1–e94 e40 0.51 (0.37-0.70) andAUCwas0.82.At 48h,DORwas18.90 (9.22-38.75), Sn78% (70-84), Sp 83% (78-88), PLR 4.10 (3.01-5.59), NLR (0.27 (0.14-0.51) and AUC was 0.89. Insufficient datawere available for other time points. The role of CRP was explored in predicting organ failure, infected pancreatic necrosis and mortality but there were insufficient data to conduct a meta-analysis. Conclusion: This is the most comprehensive assessment of the role of CRP in predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis to date. CRP 150 mg/l performs better in differentiating mild from severe disease at 48 h but the values are still lower than have been estimated previously. More accurate methods to predict severity remain to be identified.
