Artificial Intelligence Assisted Scoring System for Prognosis and Mortality Prediction in Acute Pancreatitis
Öz
Background: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of the Pancreatitis Artificial Intelligence (PanAI) score, a new AI-based scoring system, in predicting disease severity and in-hospital mortality in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP).
Methods: The study included 76 patients admitted to the emergency department with a diagnosis of AP between 01.01.2023 - 01.01.2024. Clinical and laboratory data of the patients were analyzed retrospectively. PanAI score, Ranson score, 48th hour Ranson score and Balthazar Computed Tomography Severity Index (CTSI) scores were calculated and their relationships with disease severity and in-hospital mortality were evaluated. Model performance was compared by ROC analysis.
Results: The mean age of the patients included in the study was 61.95±17.40 years and 44.2% of the patients were classified in the severe AP group. In-hospital mortality rate was 13.2%. The PanAI score was more accurate than other scores in predicting severe AP and in-hospital mortality (AUC=0.911). In logistic regression analysis, PanAI score was found to be an independent predictor of severe AP and mortality (p<0.001).
Conclusion: The PanAI score stands out as a strong prognostic indicator in predicting disease severity and mortality risk in AP patients. Due to its higher accuracy compared to traditional scoring systems, it can be an important tool in clinical decision-making.
