ML model combining CT body composition and radiomics predicts progression in mild HTG-induced acute pancreatitis

A model combining clinical, CT body composition, and pancreatic radiomics features predicted in-hospital progression in initially mild hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis with an AUC of 0.830 in internal validation.

• Retrospective study of 164 patients with initially mild HTG-AP; 88 progressed.
• Triglycerides and visceral fat area-to-abdominal cavity area ratio were the most important predictors by SHAP analysis.
• External validation is needed to confirm generalizability before clinical use.
