Title: Association between the triglyceride glucose index and the risk of acute respiratory failure
in patients with acute pancreatitis
Version: 0 Date: 21 Nov 2024
Reviewer's report:
Thank you for allowing me to participate in the review of this very interesting work. Early
identification of patients at increased risk of developing severe pancreatitis or complications
such as respiratory failure remains of relevant clinical importance. The study objectives are
clear, and the methodology used is correct. I have a few questions that I would like the authors
to clarify:
1. The authors used the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV version 2.2 (MIMIC-
IV v2.2) database to conduct the study. Could the authors explain the characteristics of this
database? Does the data only include patients admitted to the intensive care unit? What variables
are included in this database? Does the data include the entire hospital stay?
2. Were patients with a history of hypertriglyceridemia included in the analyzed sample?
3. The etiology of pancreatitis is not described in the results. Does the database have this
information? Could this be a bias in the study?
4. Was the duration of illness from the onset of symptoms to the collection of blood samples for
the study analyzed? Was this similar in the patients included in the study?
