Demographic characteristics, clinical findings, laboratory parameters obtained at admission and at 48\u00a0h, and imaging findings were collected. Prognostic assessment was performed using the Ranson, APACHE II, BISAP, Glasgow\u2013Imrie, HAPS, and CTSI scoring systems. Patients were categorized according to a predefined serum lipase cutoff of 600 U\/L. The associations between serum lipase levels, prognostic score categories, and in-hospital mortality were analyzed, and the diagnostic performance of the lipase cutoff was evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 3.9% (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200915).

A serum lipase cutoff of 600 U\/L identified patients with a Ranson score\u2009\u2265\u20093 with a sensitivity of 70.2% (95% CI: 60.4\u201378.8) and a specificity of 57.3% (95% CI: 51.2\u201363.2). Higher prognostic scores, including Ranson, BISAP, and APACHE II, were significantly associated with in-hospital mortality (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.01).

These findings suggest that serum lipase has limited value as a standalone prognostic marker and should be interpreted in conjunction with established clinical scoring systems.
