The Acinar Score Categorizes Patients into High or Low Risk for Pancreas-Specific Complications

A cohort of 761 patients revealed that the acinar score, based on pancreatic acinar content and fibrosis, effectively dichotomized the risk spectrum into high and low risk. This new stratification tool improved predictions compared to the conventional isgps classification, leading to better-targeted mitigation strategies for pancreas-specific complications in cases with intermediate macroscopic features.
