| Core Tip |
This letter provides a critical appraisal of Rao et al’s study on the prognostic value of ascitic fluid characteristics in acute pancreatitis. While their findings linking fluid color, turbidity, and lactate dehydrogenase levels with adverse outcomes are noteworthy, concerns remain regarding the subjectivity of visual assessment, absence of infection-related markers, and the limitation of single time-point analysis. We emphasize the need for objective classification using cytological, microbiological, and biochemical parameters, as well as longitudinal monitoring and integration into established severity scoring systems to improve prognostic accuracy and clinical applicability. |
