Development and validation of an early prediction model for hypertriglyceridaemic severe acute pancreatitis: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence rate of hypertriglyceridaemic acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) has been steadily increasing due to changes in lifestyle and dietary patterns. Moreover, HTG-AP tends to be more severe than pancreatitis caused by other aetiologies, which may be related to pancreatic steatosis (PS). However, currently, no universally accepted multifactorial clinical scoring system specifically for predicting the severity of HTG-AP exists. This study aimed to identify predictors of hypertriglyceridaemic severe acute pancreatitis (HTG-SAP) and specifically incorporated PS into a visual model for predicting HTG-SAP early.

Methods

A total of 346 patients with HTG-AP were included. These patients were classified into HTG-SAP (n = 94) and hypertriglyceridaemic non-severe ac
