Mean corpuscular hemoglobin predicts the length of hospital stay independent of severity classification in patients with acute pancreatitis

Abstract: Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) is a common blood routine test index. To explore the relationship between MCH and length of hospital stay in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP), we included 273 patients with AP without coronary heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and anemia in this study. All data were separated into three groups according to the length of hospital stay. Gender (p = 0.017) and severity classification (p < 0.001) were significantly correlated with length of hospital stay among three groups. Notably, MCH level was significant different among three groups (p = 0.009). Thus, all data were separated into two groups according to MCH level, and significant increases in the length of hospital stay were observed between two groups (p = 0.030). A positive correlation between length of hospital stay and MCH was observed (r = 0.172, p = 0.004). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that MCH was independent correlated with the length of hospital stay, no matter whether severity classification of AP was included (beta = 0.248, p < 0.001; beta = 0.212, p < 0.001). Our results demonstrated that the length of hospital stay was correlated with MCH level in patients with AP, and MCH level at admission may predict the length of hospital stay independent of severity classification in AP. These results may provide a potential evaluation basis for the management of patients with AP.
