| Popis: | Background Acute pancreatitis is one of the main causes of acute abdomen. It may cause multi-organ failure or even death. High morbidity and mortality are associated with it. The research study aimed at evaluating the clinical characteristics and results of acute pancreatitis in our community. Results Mean age of patients was 50.96 ± 9.71 years and 30 (60%) patients were males. Gallstone was the most frequent etiology (56%) followed by idiopathic pancreatitis (26%). The majority of patients improved and only four patients died. Old age, presence of comorbidities, and leucocytosis were risk factors for a severe attack while old ages, presence of comorbidities, severe pancreatitis, and presence of complications were associated with mortality. Conclusion Acute pancreatitis could have serious outcomes if not correctly and early managed. It is recommended to perform multicenter studies with a large sample of patients. A multi-disciplinary team is required to assess idiopathic pancreatitis. |
