Background:
Post‑acute pancreatitis prediabetes/diabetes mellitus (PPDM‑A) is one of the common sequelae of acute pancreatitis (AP). The aim of our study was to build a machine learning (ML)-based prediction model for PPDM-A in hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis (HTGP).
Methods:
We retrospectively enrolled 165 patients for our study. Demographic and laboratory data and body composition were collected. Multivariate logistic regression was applied to select features for ML. Support vector machine (SVM), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and logistic regression (LR) were used to develop prediction models for PPDM-A.
Results:
65 patients were diagnosed with PPDM-A, and 100 patients were diagnosed with non-PPDM-A. Of the 84 body composition-related parameters, 15 were significant in discriminating between the PPDM-A and non-PPDM-A groups. Using clinical indicators and body composition parameters to develop ML models, we found that the SVM model presented the best predictive ability, obtaining the best AUC=0.796 in the training cohort, and the LDA and LR model showing an AUC of 0.783 and 0.745, respectively.
Conclusions:
The association between body composition and PPDM-A provides insight into the potential pathogenesis of PPDM-A. Our model is feasible for reliably predicting PPDM-A in the early stages of AP and enables early intervention in patients with potential PPDM-A.

Acute Pancreatitis II: Clinical Manifestations and Management
Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:
Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...

Carbohydrate Metabolism
Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in...
