Profile of and risk factors for early unplanned readmissions in patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis. Pancreatology 2023; 23:465-472. [PMID: 37330391 DOI: 10.1016/j.pan.2023.05.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Revised: 05/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/28/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) complicates up to 15% of acute pancreatitis cases. ANP has historically been associated with a significant risk for readmission, but there are currently no studies exploring factors that associate with risk for unplanned, early (<30-day) readmissions in this patient population. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of all consecutive patients presenting to hospitals in the Indiana University (IU) Health system with pancreatic necrosis between December 2016 and June 2020. Patients younger than 18 years of age, without confirmed pancreatic necrosis and those that suffered in-hospital mortality were excluded. Logistic regression was performed to identify potential predictors of early readmission in this group of patients. RESULTS One hundred and sixty-two patients met study criteria. 27.7% of the cohort was readmitted within 30-days of index discharge. The median time to readmission was 10 days (IQR 5-17 days). The most frequent reason for readmission was abdominal pain (75.6%), followed by nausea and vomiting in (35.6%). Discharge to home was associated with 93% lower odds of readmission. We found no additional clinical factors that predicted early readmission. CONCLUSION Patients with ANP have a significant risk for early (<30 days) readmission. Direct discharge to home, rather than short or long-term rehabilitation facilities, is associated with lower odds of early readmission. Analysis was otherwise negative for independent, clinical predictors of early unplanned readmissions in ANP.

[PMID: 37654456 PMCID: PMC10465851 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e19060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2023] [Revised: 08/03/2023] [Accepted: 08/09/2023] [Indexed: 09/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Fear of progression (FoP) is associated with the quality of life and behavioral change in acute pancreatitis (AP) patients, but lack of assessment tools. Aim This study aimed to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form in AP patients (AP-FoP-Q-SF). Methods Internal consistency, factorial structure, convergent validity, and criterion validity of AP-FoP-Q-SF were assessed. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to identify the cutoff value for high FoP. Associations between patient variables and FoP were evaluated using multiple logistic regression. Wilcox rank sum test was used to analyses the costs and length of hospital stay of the patients with high FoP. Results The two-factor structure showed a good fit. Internal consistency was acceptable (Cronbach's α = 0.771). The cutoff of 26 identified 35.3% of patients with high FoP. High FoP scores were associated with age (OR = 0.96, 95%CI: 0.94-0.98), recurrence times (OR = 1.22, 95%CI: 1.02-1.45) and anxiety (OR = 1.27, 95%CI: 1.16-1.40). Patients with high FoP spent more cost and time in the hospital. Conclusions The AP-FoP-Q-SF is a good FoP tool for AP patients in China. Implications for practice Clinicians can use the AP-FoP-Q-SF to assess FoP and take promotion programs to avoid worse effects.

Cannabinoid-Related Acute Pancreatitis: An Update from International Literature and Individual Case Safety Reports. Drug Saf 2022; 45:215-235.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In addition to the growing interest of different cannabinoids for therapeutic purposes, the safety profile of these substances has changed, with the recent identification of new events such as acute pancreatitis. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to characterize cannabinoid-related acute pancreatitis, based on the recent literature and the analysis of pharmacovigilance data available worldwide. METHODS Nine national and international pharmacovigilance databases were requested for individual case safety reports of acute pancreatitis related to cannabinoid exposure. A systematic review was performed searching in PubMed®, Web of Science®, and Google Scholar® for any publication dealing with acute pancreatitis and cannabinoid exposure (cannabis, cannabinoid, cannabidiol, tetrahydrocannabinol, nabilone, dronabinol), to identify case reports, observational studies, clinical trials, or reviews. All queries were updated on 1 January, 2021. RESULTS Twenty-two individual case safety reports were identified in the pharmacovigilance databases and 51 in the literature, corresponding to a predominantly young male population (74% of men, median age 28 interquartile range [21-39]) using recreational Cannabis sativa with high intensity. A therapeutic purpose was identified in 13 cases (including tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabidiol, and dronabinol). The outcome was often favorable after dechallenge (except three deaths), and frequent recurrences were observed in the case of rechallenge or sustained consumption. Eleven cross-sectional studies and one ecological study showed an increasing trend of cannabis use in in-patients with acute pancreatitis, with a significantly lower in-hospital mortality. CONCLUSIONS This review underlines that acute pancreatitis is a potential adverse effect of cannabinoid use. It remains often unrecognized and can occur during recreational or therapeutic use. The development of the therapeutic use of cannabinoids in frail patients deserves a better investigation of the benefit-risk ratio of these different products.

J Inflamm Res 2021; 14:5433-5442.

Abstract
Objective Immunosuppression is common in patients with infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN) and associated with morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to investigate the impact of immune status on mortality and readmission after hospital discharge in patients with IPN-related sepsis. Methods In this prospective observational study, eligible adult patients with IPN-related sepsis requiring ICU admission were included. Monocytic human leukocyte antigen DR (mHLA-DR), expression of regulatory T cells (Treg), and neutrophil CD88 (nCD88) were measured on the diagnosis of sepsis, ICU discharge, hospital discharge, and 15, 30, 60 days after hospital discharge. Logistic regression model was used to assess potential risk factors for readmission 60-days within the index discharge. Results A total of 53 patients were included, 13 died during hospitalization and one withdrew the consent soon after discharge. Among the survivors, a tendency of immune recovery was observed during the consecutive follow-ups, evidenced by the increased expression of mHLA-DR. Sixteen patients (41.03%) were readmitted within 60 days after the index discharge. In the multivariable regression model, APACHE II score when sepsis was diagnosed >9 and mHLA-DR at discharged <14,591 AB/C were found to be independent risk factors affecting readmission. Conclusion Immunosuppression is common in patients with IPN-related sepsis and can persist until two months after discharge. The compromised mHLA-DR level at discharge was associated with readmission within two months after discharge.

Abstract
Pancreatitis is pathologic inflammation of the pancreas characterized by acinar cell destruction and oxidative stress. Repeated pancreatic insults can result in the development of chronic pancreatitis, characterized by irreversible fibrosis of the pancreas and many secondary sequelae, ultimately leading to the loss of this important organ. We review acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, and pancreatitis-related complications. We take a close look at the pathophysiology with a focus on oxidative stress and how it contributes to the complications of the disease. We also take a deep dive into the evolution and current status of advanced therapies for management including dietary modification, antioxidant supplementation, and nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2-Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1(Nrf2-keap1) pathway activation. In addition, we discuss the surgeries aimed at managing pain and preventing further endocrine dysfunction, such as total pancreatectomy with islet auto-transplantation.
