Pancreatitis carries a substantial mortality risk and significant long\u2010term sequelae, with delirium being a severe neurological complication, underscoring the clinical need for effective prognostic markers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective cohort study was performed using the MIMIC\u2010IV v3.0 database. A total of 1748 ICU patients meeting diagnostic criteria for pancreatitis (ICD\u20109\/10 codes: 577.0, 577.1, K85) with documented baseline blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and albumin levels were included. BAR was calculated (BUN[mg\/dL]\/Albumin[g\/dL]) and patients were stratified into quartiles (Q1: BAR\u2009&lt;\u20093.0; Q2: BAR 3.0\u20135.0; Q3: BAR 5.0\u20139.2; Q4: BAR\u2009\u2265\u20099.2). The primary endpoints were all\u2010cause mortality and delirium occurrence (identified using ICD\u20109 codes 293.0, 293.1, and ICD\u201010 codes F05, F05.9). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression (mortality) and logistic regression (delirium) were employed, adjusting for demographics, illness severity scores (GCS, SAPS II, OASIS, and Charlson Comorbidity Index), and comorbidities. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) were used to explore nonlinear associations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Higher BAR levels significantly correlated with greater disease severity: compared with Q1, Q4 exhibited a higher Charlson Comorbidity Index and mortality rate. BAR was an independent predictor of delirium; each 1\u2010unit increase in BAR was associated with a 2.7% increased risk of delirium (adjusted\u2009OR = 1.027, 95% CI: 1.009\u20131.044), and patients in Q4 had a significantly higher risk compared with those in Q1 (adjusted\u2009OR = 1.882, 95% CI: 1.157\u20133.108). After multivariable adjustment, BAR was not significantly independently associated with mortality (Q4 adjusted\u2009HR = 1.022,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.8). RCS analysis revealed BAR &gt; 9.0 as a high\u2010risk threshold, characterized by delirium OR &gt; 1.78 and mortality HR &gt; 1.97. The BAR quartile model yielded AUCs of 0.635 and 0.599 for predicting mortality and delirium, respectively, indicating modest predictive ability.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>BAR independently predicts delirium risk and reflects disease severity in pancreatitis patients, but does not demonstrate significant independent predictive value for mortality after accounting for confounders. The identified threshold (BAR &gt; 9.0) supports the utility of BAR as a supplementary biomarker for delirium risk stratification in this population.<\/jats:p>\n
