  •   Objective  To investigate the value of serum cytokines in the early diagnosis of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), and to improve the accuracy of the diagnosis of SAP by establishing a mathematical model with composite indices based on LASSO algorithm.  Methods  A total of 130 patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) who attended Changshu First People's Hospital from January 2019 to June 2022 were enrolled, among whom there were 73 SAP patients and 57 non-SAP patients.Peripheral serum samples were collected from all patients, and Luminex xMAP liquid chip technique was used to measure 13 serum cytokines.Meanwhile, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ), Bedside Index for Severity in Acute Pancreatitis (BISAP), and Computed Tomography Severity Index (CTSI) scores were determined for all patients.The Kolmogorov-Smirnov method was used for normality test; the independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups; the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups.Furthermore, the binary logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the effect of cytokines on SAP, and the linear regression analysis was used to investigate the correlation between cytokines and SAP severity.The partial correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between cytokines and SAP severity score after adjustment for covariates[age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and history of hypertension and diabetes].The LASSO algorithm was used to establish a mathematical model with composite indices; the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the performance of serum cytokines in the clinical diagnosis of SAP, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was calculated.  Results  Compared with the SAP group, the non-SAP group had significantly lower APACHE Ⅱ, BISAP, CTSI, and modified Marshall scores (all P < 0.001).Compared with the non-SAP group, the SAP group had significantly higher levels of interferon-γ(IFN-γ), interleukin-6(IL-6), interleukin-8, and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and a significantly lower level of interleukin-12(all P < 0.05).The logistic regression analysis showed that IFN-γ(odds ratio[OR]=1.190, 95% confidence interval[CI]: 1.036-1.367, P=0.014), IL-6 (OR=1.148, 95%CI: 1.070-1.231, P < 0.001), and TNF-α (OR=1.100, 95%CI: 1.048-1.155, P < 0.001) were independent influencing factors for SAP.The partial correlation analysis showed that after adjustment for sex, age, BMI, and history of chronic diseases (diabetes and hypertension), the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were positively correlated with APACHE Ⅱ score in SAP patients (IL-6:r=0.503, P < 0.001;TNF-α: r=0.557, P < 0.001).The linear regression analysis showed that the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were associated with APACHE Ⅱ score in SAP patients (IL-6:β=0.049, P=0.044;TNF-α: β=0.054, P=0.046), and there was an interaction between IL-6 and TNF-α, which affected APACHE Ⅱ score.The ROC curve analysis showed that the risk score based on IL-6 and TNF-α using LASSO algorithm had the largest AUC of 0.925 in distinguishing SAP from non-SAP, while IL-6 or TNF-α alone had an AUC of 0.885 and 0.878, respectively.The partial correlation analysis showed that after adjustment for sex, age, BMI, and history of chronic diseases (diabetes and hypertension), the risk score was positively correlated with APACHE Ⅱ score in SAP patients (r=0.565, P < 0.001).  Conclusion  The serum levels of IL-6 and TNF-α can reflect the severity of AP.The risk score combining serum IL-6 and TNF-α can significantly improve the accuracy of the early diagnosis of SAP, which has an important clinical value in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of SAP.
