Yang et al reported a model for evaluating a pregnant woman with pancreatitis. This can help to identify a patient with more severe disease. The authors are from West China Hospital and Sichuan University in Chengdu.
Patient selection: pregnant woman with pancreatitis
Parameters:
(1) serum LDH in U/L, from 0 to 1,100
(2) serum albumin in g/L, from 16 to 46
(3) serum triglyceride in mmol/L, from 0 to 45
(4) serum total cholesterol in mmol/L, from 0 to 40
points for serum LDH =
= 0.0909 * (LDH)
points for albumin =
= 107.33 - (2.33 * (albumin))
points for serum triglycerides =
= 0.8667 * (triglycerides)
points for serum cholesterol =
= 0.5075 * (cholesterol)
total score =
= SUM(points for all of the parameters)
Interpretation:
• minimum score: 0
• maximum score: 229.3
value of X =
= (0.07577 * (score)) - 5.951
probability of moderate or severe pancreatitis =
= 1 / (1 + EXP((-1) * X))
