Background:
Early and convenient prediction of the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP) is crucial for its treatment and prognosis. This study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram model for assessing the risk of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) based on the theory of Persistent Inflammation, Immunosuppression, and Catabolism Syndrome (PICS).
Methods:
A total of 4,930 AP patients from the MIMIC-IV database were selected as the derivation cohort, which was divided into the SAP group (n = 975) and non-severe acute pancreatitis (NSAP) group (n = 3,955) according to the 2012 Atlanta classification criteria. The 9 hematological indicators collected at the earliest time point within 48-72 h of admission were subjected to logistic regression analysis, and the statistically significant indicators selected were used to establish the model. A validation cohort consisting of 233 AP patients (34 in the SAP group and 199 in the NSAP group) admitted to the Department of General Surgery, Anhui No.2 Provincial People's Hospital from January 2016 to October 2024 was used to verify the model's performance.
Results:
Multivariate Logistic regression showed that neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), white blood cell count (WBC), hemoglobin (Hb), and red blood cell distribution width (RDW) were independent predictors of SAP (P < 0.05). The nomogram model equation was constructed as follows: logit(P) = ln(2.37)⋅ log(NLR) + ln(0.45)⋅ log(SII) + ln(2.60)⋅ log(WBC) + ln(0.85)⋅ Hb + ln(1.14)⋅ RDW. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of the derivation cohort was 0.730 (95% CI: 0.708-0.743), with a Hosmer-Lemeshow test P-value of 0.333. The AUC of the validation cohort was 0.795 (95% CI: 0.703-0.886).
Conclusion:
The nomogram model based on NLR, SII, WBC, Hb, and RDW has good predictive value for SAP and can provide a convenient tool for early clinical identification of SAP.

01:27Acute 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:
01:24Chronic 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...
