B Lymphocyte—A Prognostic Indicator in Post‐Acute Pancreatitis Diabetes Mellitus

ABSTRACT Objective To determine the value of lymphocyte subsets and granulocyte/monocyte surface markers in predicting the risk of post‐acute pancreatitis diabetes (PPDM‐A). Methods This study included 308 in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). The markers of granulocytes and monocytes and lymphocyte subsets were detected by flow cytometry, and the fluorescence intensity, absolute count and percentage were obtained. Based on the occurrence of diabetes after AP, patients were divided into two groups: PPDM‐A and PPNG‐A (post‐acute pancreatitis with normal glucose). Correlations between granulocyte and monocyte surface markers and lymphocyte subsets were analyzed. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the potential influencing factors of PPDM‐A. Results Compared with patients with PPNG‐A, patients with PPDM‐A tend to be younger (p
