Retrospective Analysis of Etiologic and Prognostic Factors of Patients Diagnosed with Acute Pancreatitis

Abstract

The aim of study was to assess the etiological factors and complications of the patients who were followed with diagnosis of acute pancreatitis (AP). A total of 184 patients who were diagnosed with AP in our hospital between the dates 2005-2010 were assessed retrospectively. Demographic characteristics, laboratory findings, imaging modalities, disease severity, prognosis, length of hospital stay of each case were recorded. The relation between severity of the disease with etiological factors, age, sex, length of hospitalization and prognosis were evaluated. The number of male patients were 79 (42,9%) and the number of female patients were 105 (57,1%) and the mean age was 55,5±17,01. Acute biliary pancreatitis was detected in 112 (60,9%) patients. Severe pancreatitis was observed in 50 (27,2%) patients. The mortality rate was 3,8%. There was no relation between the demographic characteristics of the patients and laboratory findings with severity of the disease. The mortality rate and length of hospitalization was higher in the severe group. AP is an important clinical entity which may cause mortality. Several etiological factors are responsible for development of AP, however biliary stones are the leading cause. Computed tomography severity index is an accurate predictor of severity and prognosis.
