In this study, we investigated the association between the dynamic levels of blood presepsin, a new infection biomarker, and the changes of severity in the early course of acute pancreatitis. We found the predictive value of presepsin for 28-d mortality was similar to the bedside index of severity in acute pancreatitis, Ranson and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II scores.
