Abstract

Introduction: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a clinical condition, which should
be included in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with abdominal
pain, nausea and vomiting. In this study, we aimed to investigate
patients diagnosed as AP in our clinic.
Methods: Eighty four cases with AP in Sakarya Training and Research
Hospital Internal Medicine Clinic in 2009-2010 were included in the study
retrospectively. Demographic characteristics, disease severity, treatment,
prognosis, length of hospital stay of cases were recorded. Then,
associations between disease severity with etiological factors, age, sex,
length of stay and prognosis were evaluated.
Results: The etiologies of the 55 patients (66 %) had acute biliary pancreatitis.
Severe pancreatitis was observed in 25 % of cases according to
Ranson’s criteria. The mortality rate was 5%. It was found no correlation
between severity of disease with demographic characteristics, clinical
and laboratory findings and length of stay. Mortality was higher in the
severe pancreatitis group (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Although the most important factor in etiology of AP is gall
bladder stones, idiopathic and other rare causes should not be ignored.
Because of similar clinical manifestations may occur in mild or severe AP
initially, the prognostic scoring systems should be used to determine the
severity of disease.

Akut Pankreatitli Olgularımızın Retrospektif Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Giriş: Akut pankreatit (AP), karın ağrısı, bulantı, kusma yakınmaları ile
başvuran olgularda ayırıcı tanıda yer alması gereken klinik bir tablodur. Bu
çalışmada kliniğimizde akut pankreatit tanısı ile izlenen olguların incelenmesi
amaçlandı.
Metod: 2009-2010 yıllarında Sakarya Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi İç
Hastalıkları Kliniğinde akut pankreatit tanısıyla takip edilen 84 olgu çalışma
kapsamına alındı ve geriye dönük olarak analiz edildi. Olguların
demografik özellikleri, hastalık şiddeti, uygulanan tedavi, prognoz, hastanede
yatış süresi kaydedildi. Daha sonra hastalık şiddeti ile etyolojik
faktörler, yaş, cinsiyet, yatış süresi ve prognoz arasındaki ilişki incelendi.
Bulgular: Etiyolojik olarak 55 olguda (% 66) akut biliyer pankreatit saptandı.
Ranson kriterlerine göre 21 olguda (% 25) şiddetli pankreatit gözlendi.
Mortalite oranı % 5 (4 olgu) bulundu. Hastalık şiddeti ile demografik
özellikler, klinik ve laboratuar bulgular ve yatış süreleri arasında ilişki saptanmadı.
Mortalite şiddetli grupta daha yüksekti (p< 0,05).
Sonuç: AP etyolojisindeki en önemli faktör safra kesesi taşları olmakla
birlikte, idiyopatik ve diğer nadir nedenler göz ardı edilmemelidir Hafif ya
da şiddetli akut pankreatitte başlangıçta benzer klinik tablolar görülebileceğinden
hastalık şiddetini belirlemede prognostik skorlama sistemlerinden
yararlanılmalıdır
