Key result
Admission hypertriglyceridemia in patients with severe acute pancreatitis was associated with higher mortality (13.1% vs 9.1%, P<0.01) and increased rates of renal failure, shock, and infection.
Why the study?
Does admission hypertriglyceridemia worsen outcomes in patients with severe acute pancreatitis?

Absolute Event Rate: 13.1% vs 9.1%
p-value: p=<0.01
Admission hypertriglyceridemia is associated with more severe disease, higher complication rates, and increased mortality in patients with severe acute pancreatitis.

Admission HTG signals greater early severity in SAP; leaves open whether it drives outcomes or warrants specific intervention.
Deng et al. (2008) conducted a cohort in Severe acute pancreatitis (n=176). Admission hypertriglyceridemia (TG ≥ 5.65 mmol/L) vs. Admission TG < 5.65 mmol/L was evaluated on Mortality (p=<0.01). Admission hypertriglyceridemia in patients with severe acute pancreatitis was associated with higher mortality (13.1% vs 9.1%, P<0.01) and increased rates of renal failure, shock, and infection.
