Comparing acid steatocrit and faecal elastase estimations for use in M-ANNHEIM staging for pancreatitis

Table 4 Comparing the number of patients based on M-ANNHEIM staging by acid steatocrit and faecal elastase-1 estimations n (%)

M-ANNHEIM stages	Acid steatocrit method	FE-1 test
0	13 (06.7)	13 (06.7)
I	87 (44.8)	85 (43.8)
II	89 (45.8)	75 (38.6)
III	05 (2.5)	21 (10.8)

A P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. A statistically significant difference was present between the number of those assessed by both methods in M-ANNHEIM stages (P < 0.001, Mc Nemar’s test). FE-1: Faecal elastase-1.
