Abstract:

Objective To investigate the predictive value of a combination detection of serum resistin, malondialdehyde (MDA) and interleukine-6 (IL-6) in predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP). Methods A total of 120 AP patients hospitalized in the Department of Gastroenterology, Hebei General Hospital, from January 2022 to November 2022 were selected and divided into three groups: mild acute pancreatitis group (MAP), moderately severe acute pancreatitis (MSAP) and severe acute pancreatitis group (SAP). Baseline characteristics of them were collected, and 4 ml of venous blood was drawn within 48-72 hours of onset of illness to measure serum levels of resistin, MDA and IL-6 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results There were significant differences in serum resistin, MDA and IL-6 levels among the MAP, MSAP and SAP group (P<0.05). There was a significant linear correlation among serum resistin, MDA and IL-6 levels (P<0.01). The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves (AUC) of detecting serum resistin, MDA and IL-6 in predicting SAP (including both MSAP and SAP) was 0.850, 0.774 and 0.817, respectively, with the sensitivity of 77.80%, 90.70% and 72.20%, respectively, and the specificity of 78.80%, 62.10% and 83.30%, respectively. The AUC of a combination detection of them in predicting SAP (MSAP+SAP) was 0.890, with the sensitivity and specificity of 74.10% and 90.90%, respectively. Conclusion Serum resistin, MDA and IL-6 levels are significantly elevated in SAP patients, and their combination detection has a high efficacy in predicting the severity of AP, which may be used as a novel predictive method.
