Core Tip

Core Tip: Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP)-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) affect the mortality of patients with AP. Early identification of patients at high risk for SAP and ARDS can aid clinicians to adopt interventions to stop disease progression. However, current predictive models are either too complicated due to various parameters or unreliable due to lack of validation. This study developed new models to predict SAP and ARDS using only four routine clinical items within 24 h of admission. New models were externally validated and performed as well as or with a higher efficiency than other models.
