Table 3 Logistic regression analysis of laboratory variables to differentiate survivors and non-survivors

Variable	OR	95%CI	P value
AST (E), μkat/L	1.0377	1.6514-1.3392	0.3612
α-amylase (E), U/L	0.8771	0.7657-1.0046	0.7543
DB (E), μmol/L	2.2201	1.0475-4.7051	0.6374
DB (A/E)	0.6941	0.4613-1.0445	0.5221

A: Day 1 (on admission); E: Day before the operative pancreatic debridement. AST: Aspartate aminotransferase; CI: Confidential intervals; DB: Direct bilirubin; OR: Odds ratio.
