Risk factors for diabetes mellitus after acute pancreatitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Rationale: Within five years of having acute pancreatitis (AP), three in five people develop prediabetes (PD) or diabetes mellitus (DM). Post-AP DM is associated with poorer long-term glycaemic control, higher all-cause mortality and cancer-related deaths (even excluding pancreatic cancer) comapred to patients with type 2 diabetes. However, information on risk factors is limited. We aimed to identify risk factors for developing PD or DM following AP.
