{Abstract}: <B>BACKGROUND: </B>Fluid resuscitation reduces mortality and morbidity in acute pancreatitis (AP); however, whether glucose-containing fluids negatively impact AP remains uncertain. We aimed to examine the association between glucose-containing fluids and AP outcomes.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>This multicenter retrospective cohort study included patients diagnosed with AP between January 2015 and December 2018. Glucose density was defined as total glucose content divided by total fluid volume (g/dl) on day 1, and was considered high if the level exceeded the median. Endpoints were early organ failure (OF), including cardiovascular, renal, or respiratory system failure within 7 days; 30-day OF; ICU admission; and AP-related 90-day mortality. Logistic regression models, restricted cubic spline curves, and Cox proportional hazards models were used for statistical analysis.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>From the database, 1,146 patients with AP were included. Early OF occurred in 8.8% of patients within 7 days. The high glucose-density group (>5 g/dl) had increased risk of early OF (9.7% vs. 8.2%; adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.69; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03-2.80; P = 0.039), respiratory failure (8.0% vs. 6.2%; aOR, 1.88; 95% CI, 1.09-3.24; P = 0.024), cardiovascular failure (3.4% vs. 2.4%; aOR, 3.59; 95% CI, 1.28-10.0; P = 0.015), and ICU admission (6.8% vs. 5.8%; aOR, 2.06; 95% CI, 1.08-3.94; P = 0.029), with a dose-response effect observed for cardiovascular failure and ICU admission. A significant increase 30-day OF risk (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.70; 95% CI, 1.19-2.45) was also noted.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>Excess glucose-containing fluid was associated with increased risks of overall, respiratory, and cardiovascular OF and ICU admission in AP.
