Opportune and appropriate treatment are essential to prevent negative consequences on individuals' quality of life. Severity criteria for the disease are a pivotal element in implementing necessary procedures to reduce symptoms and prevent organ dysfunction. Objective: To analyze the validity of the severity criteria for acute pancreatitis. Methodology: The methodology was of qualitative approach, descriptive scope, bibliographic-documentary type, and non-experimental design. For review articles selection, inductive-deductive methods and the PRISMA matrix were employed. Conclusions: The APACHE II and BISAP scales have been established as the most prominent scales in most articles reviewed for stratifying acute pancreatitis; despite being older, APACHE II remains the favorite scale used by medical staff worldwide and is considered the most accurate and sensitive predictor.
