Background and Aims. To investigate the association between serum albumin levels within 24 hrs of patient admission and the\ndevelopment of persistent organ failure in acute pancreatitis. Methods. A total of 700 patients with acute pancreatitis were enrolled.\nMultivariate logistic regression and subgroup analysis determined whether decreased albumin was independently associated with\npersistent organ failure and mortality. The diagnostic performance of serum albumin was evaluated by the area under Receiver\nOperatingCharacteristic (ROC) curves. Results.As levels of serumalbumin decrease, the risk of persistent organ failure significantly\nincreases (
