  • N-HbA1c vs H-HbA1c,.*p<0.05, **p<0.01,***p<0.001. N-HbA1c (previous undiagnosed diabetes or previous diagnosed diabetes) versus H-HbA1c (previous undiagnosed diabetes or previous diagnosed diabetes).

  • BISAP, bedside index of severity in acute pancreatitis; CTSI, CT severity index; HbA1c, glycosylated hemoglobin A1c; H-HbA1c, high serum HbA1c; LC, local complication; MAP, mild acute pancreatitis; MSAP, moderately severe acute pancreatitis; N-HbA1c, normal serum HbA1c; OF, organ failure; SAP, severe acute pancreatitis; SIRS, systemic infammatory response syndrome.
