A Clinical and Imaging-based Model for Distinguishing Mild From Moderately Severe/Severe Hypertriglyceridemic Acute Pancreatitis: Development and Validation

The proposed model, incorporating peak CRP, serum calcium, and MCTSI score, effectively distinguishes between HTG-MAP and HTG-MSAP/SAP. Compared with conventional scoring systems such as Bedside Index for Severity in Acute Pancreatitis (BISAP), it demonstrates superior specificity and overall diagnostic accuracy, providing clinicians with a practical tool for risk stratification and clinical decision-making in HTG-AP.
