Prediction of Severity of Acute Pancreatitis Using Total Serum Calcium and Albumin-Corrected Calcium: A Prospective Study in Tertiary Center Hospital in Nepal

Table 1

Comparison of the mean total serum calcium and albumin-corrected calcium as per severity.

Factor	Total population (n = 80)	Mild acute pancreatitis (n = 55)	Moderately severe pancreatitis (n = 14)	Severe acute pancreatitis (n = 11)	value
Total serum calcium (mg/dl), mean ± SD	7.92 ± 1.09	8.22 ± 1.11	7.51 ± 0.61	6.98 ± 0.67	0.001
Albumin-corrected calcium (mg/dl), mean ± SD	7.87 ± 1.07	8.15 ± 1.08	7.41 ± 0.84	7.01 ± 0.42	0.002
