Article Synopsis
- The study focused on developing two early prediction models (unwScore and wScore) to accurately identify patients with severe and moderately severe acute pancreatitis.
- Clinical data from 469 patients were analyzed to select seven key indicators (like white blood cell count and C-reactive protein) for these models.
- The new models demonstrated better predictive accuracy than existing systems, establishing an important tool for healthcare providers in managing acute pancreatitis.
Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the predictive value of a parametric model constructed by using procalcitonin, C-reactive protein (CRP) and D dimer within 48 h after admission in moderately severe and severe acute pancreatitis.
Methods: A total of 238 patients were enrolled, of which 170 patients were moderately severe and severe acute pancreatitis (MSAP+SAP). The concentrations of procalcitonin, CRP and D dimer within 48 h after admission were obtained.
