Demographic data, comorbidities, clinical characteristics and laboratory data were collected. Multivariate analysis was conducted for the variables with two-sided P< 0.10 in univariate analysis to identify independent associated factors for progression to SAP in AP patients. The predictive values were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the area under curve (AUC) was compared using Z test.Results: A total of 117 (11.2%) patients were evaluated as SAP. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in age, hypertension, ICU admission, hospital stay, Leukocytes, CRP, BUN, BISAP score and miR-155 between case group and control group (P< 0.05), and the P value of Fibrinogen was < 0.10. Multivariate analysis showed that the BISAP score, BUN, Leukocytes, age and CRP were independent risk factors for progression to SAP among AP patients after adjusting for hypertension, ICU admission, hospital stay and Fibrinogen, while miR-155 was a protective factor. The ROC curves demonstrated the AUCs of BISAP score, miR-155 and their combination were 0.842 (SE: 0.017, 95% CI: 0.809– 0.874), 0.751 (SE: 0.022, 95% CI: 0.708– 0.793) and 0.945 (SE: 0.007, 95% CI: 0.931– 0.959), respectively. Z test showed that the AUC of combination prediction was significantly higher than that of individual predictions (0.945 vs 0.842, Z=5.602, P< 0.001; 0.945 vs 0.751, Z=8.403, P< 0.001). The sensitivity, specificity and negative predictive value (NPV) of combination prediction were 95.7%, 93.6% and 99.4%, respectively.Conclusion: The combination of the BISAP score and miR-155 should be utilized to elevate the predictive value for the severity of AP in clinic.Keywords: severe acute pancreatitis, Bedside Index for Severity in AP score, miR-155, prediction
