Comparison among different severity levels of AP Table 2 shows that the levels of PCT, CRP, IL-6, NLR, and TyG index significantly increase with AP severity (MAP, MSAP, SAP), with highly significant differences observed for PCT ( P < 0.001), CRP ( P < 0.001), IL-6 ( P = 0.001), NLR ( P = 0.010), and TyG index ( P = 0.040).
