Core Tip

Core Tip: The severity of acute pancreatitis in pregnancy (APIP) is correlated with higher risks of maternal and fetal death. Few studies have focused on APIP severity prediction. We identified four predictors developed and established a prediction nomogram model for pregnant patients with moderate and severe acute pancreatitis. This model achieved good concordance indexes and may help guide doctors in the managementof APIP.
