Clinical Outcomes and Predictors of Thirty-Day Readmissions of Hypertriglyceridemia-Induced Acute Pancreatitis

Abstract Background: Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is a well-established cause of acute pancreatitis often leading to significant morbidity, mortality, and healthcare burden. This study aimed to describe the rate, reasons, and predictors of HTG-induced acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) in the USA. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed the Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD) for 2018 to determine all adults (≥ 18 years) readmitted within 30 days of an index hospitalization of HTG-AP. Hospitalization characteristics and adverse outcomes for 30-day readmissions were highlighted and compared with
