Xie J, et al. - In this investigation involving 246 patients, researchers explored the connection between nonalcoholic fatty pancreas disease and the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP). Compared to those in the mild AP group, the mean pancreatic attenuation and pancreas-to-spleen attenuation ratio (P/S ratio) were significantly lower in the moderately severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and SAP groups. In patients with AP, the pancreatic attenuation level and P/S ratio are independently correlated with severity, mortality and systemic complications.
