Biomarkers were measured within 24 hour of admission. Logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors. Discriminatory performance was assessed with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Non-linear associations were examined using restricted cubic splines, and sensitivity analyses were performed using Youden index\u2013based cutoffs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 101 patients (23.2%) died during hospitalization. NLR, GLR, and LAR were independently associated with mortality, with LAR showing the strongest effect (adjusted odds ratio = 1.48). LAR demonstrated good discrimination (area under the curve [AUC] =0.710), comparable to the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score (AUC = 0.741;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.249). Adding LAR to SOFA resulted in a small but statistically significant improvement in discrimination (AUC = 0.753 vs. 0.741;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.036), although the clinical impact of this incremental gain remains uncertain. Restricted cubic spline analyses showed approximately linear associations for all three biomarkers, and sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of these findings.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>LAR was the most informative inflammation-based biomarker for early mortality prediction in SAP, with performance comparable to the SOFA score.
