biostudies-literatureUnknown9Sun W<h4>Background</h4>Early recognition of the risk factors is important for acute pancreatitis management. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between platelet count and clinical outcomes in patients with acute pancreatitis.<h4>Methods</h4>The data are collected from a university-affiliated hospital between January 2013 and December 2020. A generalized additive model and a two-piecewise linear regression model are used to estimate the association between platelet count and the risks of intra-abdominal infection, surgical intervention, in-hospital mortality, and length of hospital stay.<h4>Results</h4>Among the 1,363 patients, 99 (7.3%) patients suffered intra-abdominal infection, 190 (13.9%) patients underwent surgical intervention, and 38 (2.8%) patients died in the hosFrontiers in medicine1077076https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9868935biostudies-literatureModerate level platelet count might be a good prognostic indicator for intra-abdominal infection in acute pancreatitis: A retrospective cohort study of 1,363 patients.PMC9868935Wen YSheng HMenglu GMa LHuang JZhao BYongguo WNi TChen YMao ESun WYanbin ZfalseModerate level platelet count might be a good prognostic indicator for intra-abdominal infection in acute pancreatitis: A retrospective cohort study of 1,363 patients.<h4>Background</h4>Early recognition of the risk factors is important for acute pancreatitis management.
