Serum Albumin Is Independently Associated with Persistent Organ Failure in Acute Pancreatitis

Table 2

The best cut-off values of albumin levels to predict organ failure and death in patients with acute pancreatitis.

	Organ failure	Death
AUC (95% CI)	0.78 (95% CI: 0.72–0.85)	0.87 (95% CI: 0.78–0.95)
Albumin level (cutoff point)	≤30.8 g/L	≤29 g/L
Sensitivity	0.53	0.55
Specificity	0.90	0.92
Positive likelihood ratio	5.40	6.83
Negative likelihood ratio	0.52	0.49
Positive predictive value	0.37	0.10
Negative predictive value	0.95	0.99
Diagnostic accuracy	0.87	0.91

AUC = area under the curve of the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve.
