Nomogram indicating the probability of developing DM within 3 months of the first-attack of AP. The logistic regression-based nomogram is based on five input variables: age, BMI, glucose, triglyceride, and LDL-C at admission. Instructions: Locate patient values at each axis. Draw a vertical line to the ‘Point’ axis to determine how many points are attributed for each variable value. Sum the points for all variables. Locate the sum on the ‘total points’ line to be able to assess individual probability of new-onset diabetes after AP. AP, acute pancreatitis; DM, diabetes mellitus; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol.
