All variables that were used for the final predictive model are listed. For laboratory or urine values, the first available value during the inpatient stay was used. For the investigated groups of microlithiasis-induced acute pancreatitis (n = 47) vs the group of pancreatitis induced by other aetiologies (n = 171), the variables were categorised as whether collected or not (N-Miss), in the case of laboratory values whether below the lower limit value, within the limit values, or above the upper limit value. For urine values, in addition to the rate of missing variables (N-Miss), it was categorised whether normal or abnormal. For the P value calculation using χ² test, variables with missing data shares of > 25% were not excluded. LLN: Lower limit value; WL: Within the limit value; ULN: Upper limit value; CRP: C-reactive protein; Gamma-GT: Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase; AST: Aspartate aminotransferase; GOT: Glutamic oxalacetic transaminases; ALT: Alanine transaminase; GPT: Glutamic pyruvic transaminase; INR: International normalized ratio; LDH: Lactate dehydrogenase; MCH: Mean corpuscular hemoglobin; MCHC: Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration; RDW: Red blood cell distribution width; MCV: Mean corpuscular volume; TSH: Thyrotropin.
