Multivariable logistic regression revealed that Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II, CT severity index, C-reactive protein, white blood cells, granulocytes, lymphocytes, and IG% (OR 1.297 [95% CI 1.230-1.368]) were independent factors predicting ARDS onset in patients with AP.
Besides that, HTG-AP patients had significantly higher C-reactive protein (CRP) (p<0.01) and creatinine (p = 0.031), together with more acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (p = 0.039), acute kidney injury (AKI) (p<0.001), deep venous thrombosis (p = 0.008) and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) (p = 0.032) in systematic complications.
