Core Tip	A novel combination of hematological parameters and scoring systems demonstrated excellent predictive performance for severe acute pancreatitis. Despite its promise, limitations—including the absence of key inflammatory markers (e.g., procalcitonin) and the need for calibration analysis, as well as practical implementation challenges—necessitate further validation and incorporation of additional variables to enhance clinical applicability.
