Adult AP patients admitted to ICU from June 2016 to December 2019 were included in the study, who were divided into three groups according to initial serum ACAG within 24 hours upon ICU admission: ACAG ≤ 14.87 mmol/L, 14.87 < ACAG ≤ 19.03 mmol/L, and ACAG > 19.03 mmol/L. The primary study outcome indicator was in-hospital mortality. Age, sex, Glasgow Coma Scale score, and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score were matched through propensity score matching (PSM) method to balance the baseline between the survivors and non-survivors. Multivariate Cox regression was used to determine the relationship between ACAG and in-hospital mortality.Results: A total of 344 patients (of them 81 non-survivors) were analyzed in this study. Patients with higher ACAG intended to present significantly higher in-hospital mortality, APACHE II score, creatine, lower albumin, and bicarbonate. Multivariate Cox regression analysis after matching demonstrated that white blood cell count, platelet count, and higher ACAG were independently associated with higher in-hospital mortality (ACAG ≤ 14.87 as a reference, 14.87 < ACAG ≤ 19.03 mmol/L with HR of 2.34 and 95% CI of 1.15– 4.76, ACAG > 19.03 with HR of 3.46 and 95% CI of 1.75– 6.84).Conclusion: Higher ACAG was independently associated with higher in-hospital mortality in patients with AP after matching the baseline between the survivors and non-survivors.Keywords: anion gap, albumin corrected anion gap, acute pancreatitis, mortality
