The effects of seTG >1.7 and 1.7–11.3 mM vs. <1.7 mM on AP severity, mortality, pancreatic necrosis, pulmonary and renal failure, and persistent OF. (A) Forest plot shows the influence of seTG over 1.7 mM compared with normal seTG (<1.7 mM). (B) The outcomes for the 1.7–11.3 mM seTG group were compared with those in patients with normal seTG (<1.7 mM). Filled rhombuses represent the risk ratio derived from the studies analysed. Horizontal bars represent 95% CI. Empty rhombuses show the overall effect (OR is the middle of the rhombus and CIs are the edges). The quality of studies was assessed by the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale with the timing of the seTG measurement (for more details see Supplementary Table S2). Abbreviations: AP, acute pancreatitis; CI, confidence interval; Comp., comparability; NR, not relevant; meas., measurement; OF, organ failure; OR, odds ratio; seTG, serum triglyceride concentration.
