In a study involving 190 patients, the HALP score demonstrated significant potential in assessing the severity of acute diverticulitis. Key inflammatory markers and HALP scores were notably higher in complicated cases compared to uncomplicated ones, indicating robust prognostic value. ROC analysis revealed that the HALP score can reliably identify disease complexity, achieving an AUC of 0.723. The sensitivity and specificity for predicting complications at a cutoff of ≤44.1 were 66.7% and 75.0%, respectively.
