In the 2012 revised Atlanta classification of acute pancreatitis, it is suggested that 3 organ systems should be assessed to define organ failure: respiratory, cardiovascular and renal. Using the modified Marshall scoring system, organ failure is defined as a score of ≥2 for one of these three organ systems.
