Table 5 Logistic regression analyses of ascites as a risk factor for severe acute pancreatitis and its complications.
| OR (95% CI) | P value | |
|---|---|---|
| Disease severity | ||
| Pancreatic inflammation | 5.332 (1.207–23.576) | |
| Moderate/severe AP | 60.531 (13.798–265.461) | |
| SIRS | – | – |
| Complications | ||
| Pancreatic fluid collection | 9.206 (2.613–32.447) | |
| Pancreatic necrosis | – | – |
| Renal failure | 5.732 (1.025–32.041) | |
| Respiratory failure | 6.242 (1.034–37.654) | |
| Cardiovascular failure | – | – |
| Pleural effusion | 5.186 (1.381–19.483) | |
| Outcomes | ||
| Use of ventilation | 12.900 (1.551–107.260) | |
| Use of vasopressor | – | – |
| ICU admission | 8.108 (1.168–56.279) | |
| Mortality | – | – |
| Data were adjusted for age, sex, hypocalcemia, blood glucose, and white blood cell counts. Data from patients without ascites served as the reference group. AP – acute pancreatitis; CI – confidence interval; ICU – Intensive Care Unit; OR – odds ratio; SIRS – systemic inflammatory response syndrome. | ||
