Core Tip

Core Tip: Acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) is a common complication of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Patients with AGI are prone to gastrointestinal dysfunction and mucosal injury, aggravating the degree of pancreatic inflammation, causing multiple organ dysfunction and endangering patients' lives. In this study, 168 patients with SAP were divided into the AGI group and non-AGI group. The risk factors of SAP complicated with AGI were analyzed, and the interaction of these risk factors was analyzed. The study findings have guiding value for controlling the development of AGI and improving the prognosis of SAP.
