| Core Tip |
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) may be used as a novel biological marker to predict the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP) considering the relation between endothelial cells and EPCs. We compared five markers, and concluded that EPCs had the highest area under the curve value (0.93) and Youden index (0.8), sensitivity (90.0%) and specificity (83.3%). EPCs may represent a new biological marker for predicting severe AP at the early stage. |
