All patients who underwent non\u2010contrast computed tomography of the abdomen and those diagnosed with EPN were included in this study. Demographic parameters, imaging, haematological and microbiology results were recorded. Patients were divided into three groups: Group 1, patients who survived without any intervention; Group 2, those who survived with surgical intervention; and Group 3, those who died with or without intervention. A prognostic scoring system was developed from 18 different parameters and risk stratification was developed. The scores were correlated with overall prognosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Data from 131 patients with EPN enrolled in the study were analysed: Group 1 (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a022), Group 2 (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a0102) and Group 3 (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a07).
