Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Prognostic indicators: 28 days after admission, all-cause mortality, length of stay in ICU, total length of stay, total hospitalization cost, duration of mechanical ventilation, duration of high-flow oxygen inhalation.;Anesthetic use data: During ICU treatment: the use of midazolam, propofol injection, butorphenol hydrochloride injection, hydromorphone hydrochloride injection;

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
General baseline data of patients: age, gender, source of visit, cause of SAP, combined underlying diseases, time from onset to admission, time from onset to admission to ICU, and imaging pathological characteristics;Laboratory test data: at admission to ICU and on day 5 of admission to ICU: Total white blood cell count, absolute value of neutrophil, absolute value of lymphocyte, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, calcium, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin, creatinine, urea, estimated glomerular filtration rate, prothrombin time activity, activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen, D-D polymers, hypersensitive C-reactive protein, down Procalcin, oxygen and index, resid;Severity assessment data: Ranson score, Acute physiological and chronic health score (APACHE II score), CT Severity Index score (CTSI score), intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) at admission to ICU and day 5 in ICU;Complications: Existing complications at ICU admission and new complications during ICU treatment: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), acute kidney injury, AKI), septic shock, severe pneumonia, acute liver injury, coagulation disorder, necrotic accumulation, pseudocysts, pancreaticogenic abdominal hemorrhage or hematoma formation, pancreaticogenic portal hypertension, deep vein thrombosis;Data on clinical treatment needs: During ICU treatment: Occurrence of high flow oxygen, mechanical ventilation, percutaneous thoracoabdominal drainage, continuous bedside renal replacement therapy (CRRT), interventional hemostasis or cyst drainage, bedside plasma exchange, vasoactive drugs, endoscopic cyst drainage or hemostasis, open surgery, bedside bronchoscopy, use of carbapenem antibiotics, and positive etiological culture;
