To investigate the application of Acute Gastrointestinal Injury(AGI) grading in evaluating gastrointestinal failure in patients with acute pancreatitis(AP). In this retrospective observational study,patients presented with moderate severe AP and severe AP in our hospital from October 2013 to October 2016 were consecutively enrolled.Logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic curve were used to explore and evaluate potential predictors of gastrointestinal failure. A total of 202 patients were included in this study,with 90 cases(44.6%) identified as gastrointestinal failure.Survival curve showed significantly increased risk of death in patients with gastrointestinal failure( < 0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed age(=1.06,95%:1.03-1.09,<0.001),complaint of stopping flatus and defecation(=7.02,95%:2.08-23.66,=0.002),increased counts of white blood cells in peripheral blood(=1.09,95%:1.02-1.17,=0.015),decreased level of serum albumin(=0.93,95%:0.86-1.00,=0.048),and increased level of serum creatinine at admission(=1.02,95%:1.01-1.04,=0.001) were the independent risk factors of gastrointestinal failure.The area under curves of Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) and Beside Index for Severity in Acute Pancreatitis (BISAP) scores in diagnosing gastrointestinal failure were 0.999 and 0.782,respectively. Gastrointestinal failure can remarkably increase the risk of death in patients with AP.Both APACHE Ⅱ and BISAP scores at admission are useful in diagnosing gastrointestinal failure in patients with AP.

Acute pancreatitis(AP)is an inflammatory condition of the pancreas following the activationt of pancreatic enzymes induced by a variety of factors,with or without other organ dysfunction.The production and release of inflammatory factors is generally considered as a key link during pathogenesis.Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs)are the most commonly applied agents for inflammatory diseases.Many studies have proved that indomethacin can reduce the risk of pancreatitis after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography;however,few high-quality evidences have demonstrated the roles of NSAIDs in treating,rather than preventing AP.Most animal experiments have shown that NSAIDs can protect organs,although the currently available findings remained inconsistent.Randomized controlled trials with large sample sizes are warranted to elucidate the roles of NSAIDs in treating AP.
