Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Patients diagnosed with "acute pancreatitis" are defined as follows: (1) Patients diagnosed with "acute pancreatitis" between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2023, with the primary diagnosis of "acute pancreatitis" upon admission or discharge. (2) Patients diagnosed with "pancreatitis" and meeting at least two of the following criteria: - For patients meeting the criteria for "pancreatitis" but without a clear diagnosis of "acute pancreatitis," the database should be searched for patients diagnosed with "pancreatitis" between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2023. The hospitalizations where the diagnosis was "pancreatitis" should be identified, and the clinical diagnosis of "acute pancreatitis" should be determined through text, laboratory tests, and imaging examinations. Meeting two out of the following three criteria constitutes a diagnosis of "acute pancreatitis": - Relevant descriptions in the patient's medical records such as "acute persistent abdominal pain, with or without radiation pain." - Serum amylase levels upon admission exceeding three times the upper limit of normal. - Imaging findings (e.g., abdominal ultrasound, contrast-enhanced CT, or MRI) upon admission showing features of acute pancreatitis. Furthermore: - Patients must receive inpatient treatment for acute pancreatitis. - Patients must meet the criteria for moderate to severe acute pancreatitis and experience one of the following conditions during hospitalization for "acute pancreatitis": - Local complications (acute peripancreatic fluid collection, pseudocyst, acute necrotic collection, walled-off necrosis). - Organ failure during hospitalization (renal failure, liver failure, respiratory failure, circulatory failure, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome). - Other complications (sepsis, systemic inflammation reaction syndrome, disseminated intravascular coagulation, shock, pancreatic encephalopathy, hypocalcemia, ketoacidosis, compartment syndrome). - Use of mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hour; 2. Inpatient treatment for acute pancreatitis. 3. Patients must meet the criteria for moderate to severe acute pancreatitis and experience one of the following conditions during hospitalization for acute pancreatitis: (1) Local complications (acute peripancreatic fluid collection, pseudocyst, acute necrotic collection, walled-off necrosis). (2) Organ failure during hospitalization (renal failure, liver failure, respiratory failure, circulatory failure, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome). (3) Other complications (sepsis, systemic inflammation reaction syndrome, disseminated intravascular coagulation, shock, pancreatic encephalopathy, hypocalcemia, ketoacidosis, compartment syndrome). (4) Use of mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours. (5) Continuous use of vasopressor drugs for more than 48 hours. (6) Serum creatinine (Cr) >=170 µmol/L, persisting for more than 48 hours. 4. Inclusion criteria: Patients aged 18 years or older upon admission;
