Impact of Serum Triglyceride Levels on Severity and Outcomes in Acute Biliary Pancreatitis: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Background Acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP), a major inflammatory illness, is primarily caused by gallstone blockage of the common bile duct. The pathophysiology of ABP has been linked to serum triglyceride (TG) levels, suggesting a potential role for TG in predicting disease severity. Objective The...

| Zusammenfassung: | Background Acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP), a major inflammatory illness, is primarily caused by gallstone blockage of the common bile duct. The pathophysiology of ABP has been linked to serum triglyceride (TG) levels, suggesting a potential role for TG in predicting disease severity. Objective The research objective was to investigate the association between serum TG levels and the severity of ABP. Methodology This retrospective cohort study sought to determine the relationship between blood TG levels and the severity of ABP. It was conducted at Lady Reading Hospital in Peshawar, Pakistan, from September 2023 to March 2024. A total of 530 ABP patients were divided into two groups based on their TG levels: normal ( |
