Risk factors of recurrent pancreatitis after first acute pancreatitis attack: a retrospective cohort study.

Conclusion: A local complication at index admission was found to be the strongest risk factor of RAP, and a male gender and an age of <60 years were significantly associated with RAP. Special attention and close follow-up should be afforded to patients with a local complication at index admission or male patients <60 years old. PMID: 31822144 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
