Core Tip

Core Tip: This retrospective study, the first to systematically investigate the association between the metabolic syndrome component burden and clinical outcomes in patients with hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis, found that individual metabolic syndrome components, especially low high density lipoprotein cholesterol, increased the risk of complications. The number of metabolic syndrome components was positively correlated with the incidence of these complications. Patients with high-component metabolic syndrome had an elevated risk of developing renal failure, severe acute pancreatitis, and requiring intensive care unit admission.
