Retrospective cohort study evaluates C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio's ability to predict severe acute pancreatitis, suggesting clinical utility.

This research aims to assess the ability of the C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio to predict severe acute pancreatitis at hospital admission.
Retrospective, single-center cohort study involving 502 adults with acute pancreatitis.
Patients classified according to revised Atlanta classification and CRP/albumin ratio calculated at admission.
Predictive performance assessed using ROC curve analysis and Firth logistic regression.
Higher CRP/albumin ratio observed in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (p<0.001).
AUC of 0.796 for CRP/albumin ratio indicates decent predictive ability; comparable to APACHE II score (AUC: 0.800).
In multivariable regression, CRP/albumin ratio associated with severe acute pancreatitis (odds ratio: 1.035; p<0.001).
