ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a major cause of death in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), but simple and credible predictive models are absent.

Research motivation

Use of models to predict and identify early patients with SAP and SAP-related ARDS, so that clinicians can manage these patients early to decrease mortality during admission.

Research objectives

To develop and verify new models to predict SAP and SAP-related ARDS.

Research methods

Clinical data from four centers were retrospectively collected. Items selected with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression method were involved in multiple logistic regression to develop the final model in development cohort. New models were than verified in validation cohort and assessed with C-index, calibration curve and decision-curve analysis.

Research results

New models could predict SAP and SAP-related ARDS with four easily available items, and performed well.

Research conclusions

We developed and verified simple and reliable models to predict SAP and SAP-related ARDS.

Research perspectives

To verify new models in a larger size of sample, and to investigate the questions raised by reviewer.
