Table 1 Comparison of total serum calcium within the four calcium-trajectory phenotypes
From: Identifying novel acute pancreatitis sub-phenotypes using total serum calcium trajectories
Very low TSC, slow resolvers (n = 65) | Moderately low TSC (n = 559) | Stable normal-calcium (n = 3875) | Fluctuating high TSC (n = 19) | P | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Initial TSC, mg/dL | 5.4 ± 1.1 | 7.2 ± 0.6 | 8.6 ± 0.6 | 12.4 ± 1.9 | < 0.001 |
Maximum TSC, mg/dL | 6.4 ± 0.9 | 7.6 ± 0.6 | 8.7 ± 0.6 | 13.1 ± 1.7 | < 0.001 |
Minimum TSC, mg/dL | 5.1 ± 1.0 | 6.9 ± 0.6 | 8.6 ± 0.6 | 11.6 ± 1.6 | < 0.001 |
Mean TSC, mg/dL | 5.8 ± 0.7 | 7.3 ± 0.4 | 8.6 ± 0.5 | 12.3 ± 1.3 | < 0.001 |
TSC, SD | 0.9 ± 0.5 | 0.5 ± 0.4 | 0.3 ± 0.2 | 1.2 ± 0.8 | < 0.001 |
Time to trough TSC, h | 9.1 ± 6.6 | 10.6 ± 6.9 | 12.5 ± 5.7 | 11.4 ± 7.0 | < 0.001 |
Hypocalcaemia (TSC < 8.4 mg/dL), n (%) | 65 (100.0) | 548 (98.0) | 1213 (31.3) | 0 (0.0) | < 0.001 |
