Incidence and epidemiological features of acute pancreatitis among adult inhabitants in Qatar.

CONCLUSION: The annual incidence rate of AP is relatively low in Qatar and tends to behave similar to many European countries in etiology, which can be explained by population structure. Gallstone and alcohol consumption are the main causes, and idiopathic AP is responsible for more cases than expected. PMID: 30301711 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
