Background: The aim of this study was to explore the correlations of triglyceride (TG) with type, severity, and prognosis of acute pancreatitis (AP).
Methods: A total of 184 AP patients treated from January 2017 to June 2019 were selected. The severity and prognosis were assessed through modified computed tomography severity index (MCTSI) score and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, respectively. They were divided into biliary AP (BAP) and hyperlipidemic AP (HLAP) groups, and their blood lipid levels were compared. According to TG level, they were divided into normal and elevation groups (> 1.70 mmol/L), and the general data, severity, and prognosis were compared. The elevation group was further divided into mild, moderate, and severe elevation groups, and severity and prognosis were compared. Logistic regression analysis was performed with presence or absence of severe AP (SAP) and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) as dependent variables.
Results: The levels of TG, total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), apolipoprotein A1 (Apo-A1), and Apo-B in the HLAP group were significantly higher than those in the BAP group (p < 0.05). Age, gender ratio, and body mass index had significant differences between normal and elevation groups (p < 0.05). Compared with the normal group, the numbers of cases of SAP, SIRS and pleural effusion, MCTSI score and SOFA score significantly rose, and the relief time of abdominal pain and length of hospital stay were significantly prolonged in the elevation group (p < 0.05). The number of cases of SAP, SIRS, and pleural effusion was significantly greater in the severe elevation group than that in the other three groups (p < 0.05), and the number of SIRS cases was significantly greater in the mild and moderate elevation groups than that in the normal group (p < 0.05). TG was an independent risk factor for SAP and SIRS (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: Patients with TG elevation mostly suffer from HLAP. Higher TG level meant higher tendency of SAP, higher incidence rate of SIRS and worse prognosis of AP patients.
