Abstract

BACKGROUND: Current prediction models are suboptimal for determining mortality risk in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP); this might be improved by using a machine learning (ML) model. In this study, we aimed to construct an explainable ML model to calculate the risk of mortality in patients with AP admitted in intensive care unit (ICU) and compared it with existing scoring systems.
