Alcohol consumption and smoking synergize with each other and increase the risk of local complications in acute pancreatitis
Objectives To examine the clinical effects of alcohol consumption and/or smoking in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). Both alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking have been reported to have harmful effects on the pancreas. These addictions very often go together, therefore careful investigations are crucially needed to understand their independent/synergic effects on the pancreas. (Source: Pancreatology)

Vicious metabolic cycle in acute pancreatitis: from clinical observations to experimental confirmation
Objectives Acute pancreatitis (AP) is often accompanied by alterations of acid-base balance, but how blood pH can influence the outcome of AP is largely unknown. We aimed to find an association between blood pH and the outcome of AP with meta-analysis of clinical trials, and then to discover a causative relationship between blood pH and AP in experimental animals.

The value of APACHE II in predicting severity, mortality and duration of hospital treatment in the Montenegrin population with Acute pancreatitis – Experience of the Clinical center of Montenegro
Objectives Acute pancreatitis (AP) has a broad clinical spectrum, from mild illness to multiple organ failure and consequential death. The APACHE II (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation) is a severity-of-disease classification system.The aim of our study was to evaluate the predictive value of APACHE II scores in patients with AP in relation to the severity of the disease, the duration of hospital treatment and mortality.

Metabolic syndrome elevates the risk for mortality and severity in acute pancreatitis.
Objectives Several studies have confirmed that obesity (BMI>30) increases the severity and mortality of acute pancreatitis (AP), however, no information is available whether its effect is independent or joint with the components of metabolic syndrome (MS). Our aim is to understand whether obesity is an independent risk factor for mortality and severity of AP. (Source: Pancreatology)

Charlson Comorbidity Index is an excellent predictor of outcomes in acute pancreatitis

Do the etiological factors of acute pancreatitis affect the course of the disease?
Objectives Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammation of the pancreas which is the most frequently caused by cholelithiasis and alcohol abuse. The morbidity of AP in regard with certain etiological factor differs between the European countries. The aims of the study were to retrospectively assess the etiology of AP and to evaluate correlation between the etiology of AP and demographic data, CRP (C-reactive protein), WBC (white blood cells) count on admission, duration of hospitalization, severity and mortality of AP.

Altered level of consciousness deteriorates the severity of acute pancreatitis
Objectives Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease often requiring hospitalization. In the moderate and severe form of the disease organ failure and altered level of consciousness (ALC) may develop, which is often alcohol related (AR-ALC). However, the influence of ALC on the outcome of AP has not been examined yet. We aimed to investigate the influence of ALC and AR-ALC on the outcomes such as severity, mortality and length of hospitalization (LOH) of AP. (Source: Pancreatology)

Body-mass index correlates with severity and mortality in acute pancreatitis: a meta-analysis
Objectives During the past decades, obesity rates have increased sharply. As there is a growing number of cases in which acute pancreatitis (AP) is accompanied by obesity, we found it clinically relevant to investigate how body-mass index (BMI) affects the outcome of the disease. The aim of this study was to quantify the association between subgroups of BMI and the severity and mortality of AP. (Source: Pancreatology)

5-ASA induces mild acute pancreatitis: a case report
Objectives There are multiple reports on 5-aminosalicylic induced acute pancreatitis as an adverse reaction. However, in most case reports, rechallenge with the drug was not performed; therefore, evidence is still needed to confirm its role in the clinical course of acute pancreatitis and its influence on the outcome. Here, we report a case of recurrent acute pancreatitis secondary to 5-aminosalicylic acid, on unintentional rechallenge. (Source: Pancreatology)
