Pancreatology 2023; 23:919-925. [PMID: 37866998 DOI: 10.1016/j.pan.2023.10.003] [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: 06/07/2023] [Revised: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/05/2023] [Indexed: 10/24/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to investigate the clinical value of emergent triglyceride (TG)-lowering therapies for hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis (HLAP). METHODS 126 HLAP patients were assigned randomly to receive either conventional treatment (CT), normal saline (NS) alone, or continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) as an intensive TG-lowering therapy. TG levels, clinical outcomes, and inflammatory biomarkers were compared among the three groups. RESULTS Baseline characteristics did not differ significantly among the groups. CVVH removed TG from the plasma and achieved its target TG (<500 mg/dL) in approximately 25 h, compared to 40 h in the NS alone group and no targeted effect within 48 h in the CT group (P < 0.05). Although the majority of clinical outcomes did not differ significantly, an unexpectedly higher incidence of organ failure occurred in the CVVH group compared to the others. Hospital costs, severe AP patients and length of stay were significantly higher in the CVVH group compared to the other groups (P < 0.005). CONCLUSIONS Early CVVH lowers TG levels more efficiently than NS alone or CT therapy, but is not superior in terms of clinical outcomes and costs. NS also lowers TG levels and is significantly less costly than the other two treatments. Further multicenter studies are needed to determine the feasibility of NS alone treatment for HLAP patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of the review is to critically evaluate the evidence from the literature to establish the current perspective on fluid resuscitation (FR) in acute pancreatitis (AP). We will review the rationale, type of fluid, rate of administration, total volume, duration, monitoring, ideal outcomes to be studied in clinical trials and recommendations for future studies. RECENT FINDINGS FR remains the key component of supportive therapy in AP. The paradigm has shifted from administration of aggressive fluid resuscitation towards more moderate FR strategies. Lactated Ringer's remains the preferred fluid for resuscitation. There remain critical gaps in knowledge regarding the end point(s) to indicate adequate resuscitation, and accurate assessments of fluid sequestration and intravascular volume deficit in AP. SUMMARY There is insufficient evidence to state that goal-directed therapy, using any of the parameters to guide fluid administration, reduces the risk of persistent organ failure, infected pancreatic necrosis, or mortality in AP, as well as the most appropriate method for the same.

Abstract
(1) Background: An open abdomen is a serious medical condition that requires prompt and effective treatment to prevent complications and improve patient outcomes. Negative pressure therapy (NPT) has emerged as a viable therapeutic option for temporary closure of the abdomen, offering several benefits over traditional methods. (2) Methods: We included 15 patients with pancreatitis who were hospitalized in the I-II Surgery Clinic of the Emergency County Hospital "St. Spiridon" from Iasi, Romania, between 2011-2018 and received NPT. (3) Results: Preoperatively, the mean IAP level was 28.62 mmHg, decreasing significantly postoperatively to 21.31 mmHg. The mean level of the highest IAP value recorded in pancreatitis patients treated with VAC did not differ significantly by lethality (30.31 vs. 28.50; p = 0.810). In vacuum-treated pancreatitis patients with a IAP level > 12, the probability of survival dropped below 50% during the first 7 days of stay in the ICU, so that after 20 days the probability of survival was approximately 20%. IAP enters the determinism of surgery with a sensitivity of 92.3% and a specificity of 99%, the cut-off value of IAP being 15 mmHg. (4) Conclusions: The timing of surgical decompression in abdominal compartment syndrome is very important. Consequently, it is vital to identify a parameter, easy to measure, within the reach of any clinician, so that the indication for surgical intervention can be made judiciously and without delay.

JOURNAL OF HEPATO-BILIARY-PANCREATIC SCIENCES 2023; 30:315-324. [PMID: 35703004 DOI: 10.1002/jhbp.1200] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2022] [Revised: 05/07/2022] [Accepted: 05/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Ranson score has 11 parameters that are complex and laborious to implement. In this study, we aimed to create a revised Ranson score by modifying the parameters in Ranson. METHODS A total of 938 patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis (AP) between 2014 and 2021 were included in the study. The parameters of the Ranson score were included in the univariate and multivariate analyses. According to the results, some of these parameters were modified, and then the revised Ranson score was created. RESULTS The revised Ranson system was created with nine parameters by modifying the hematocrit parameter at 48 hours and excluding the aspartate aminotransferase parameter from the scoring system. For in-hospital mortality, the area under the curve value of the revised Ranson was 0.959 (95% CI: 0.931-0.986), and it was significantly higher compared to the three scoring systems evaluated. At a cut-off value of 3.5, the revised Ranson had a sensitivity and specificity of 91.7% and 89.1%, respectively, for mortality. CONCLUSION The revised Ranson scoring system had better predictive ability for all clinical outcomes compared to the original Ranson in our large sample of 938 patients. However, the revised version should be further validated by prospective and multicenter studies.

Intravenous fluid therapy in patients with severe acute pancreatitis admitted to the intensive care unit: a narrative review. Ann Intensive Care 2022; 12:98. [PMID: 36251136 PMCID: PMC9576837 DOI: 10.1186/s13613-022-01072-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2022] [Accepted: 10/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) often require ICU admission, especially when signs of multiorgan failure are present, a condition that defines AP as severe. This disease is characterized by a massive pancreatic release of pro-inflammatory cytokines that causes a systemic inflammatory response syndrome and a profound intravascular fluid loss. This leads to a mixed hypovolemic and distributive shock and ultimately to multiorgan failure. Aggressive fluid resuscitation is traditionally considered the mainstay treatment of AP. In fact, all available guidelines underline the importance of fluid therapy, particularly in the first 24–48 h after disease onset. However, there is currently no consensus neither about the type, nor about the optimal fluid rate, total volume, or goal of fluid administration. In general, a starting fluid rate of 5–10 ml/kg/h of Ringer’s lactate solution for the first 24 h has been recommended. Fluid administration should be aggressive in the first hours, and continued only for the appropriate time frame, being usually discontinued, or significantly reduced after the first 24–48 h after admission. Close clinical and hemodynamic monitoring along with the definition of clear resuscitation goals are fundamental. Generally accepted targets are urinary output, reversal of tachycardia and hypotension, and improvement of laboratory markers. However, the usefulness of different endpoints to guide fluid therapy is highly debated. The importance of close monitoring of fluid infusion and balance is acknowledged by most available guidelines to avoid the deleterious effect of fluid overload. Fluid therapy should be carefully tailored in patients with severe AP, as for other conditions frequently managed in the ICU requiring large fluid amounts, such as septic shock and burn injury. A combination of both noninvasive clinical and invasive hemodynamic parameters, and laboratory markers should guide clinicians in the early phase of severe AP to meet organ perfusion requirements with the proper administration of fluids while avoiding fluid overload. In this narrative review the most recent evidence about fluid therapy in severe AP is discussed and an operative algorithm for fluid administration based on an individualized approach is proposed.

Abstract
Objective To establish a rapid and concise prognosis scoring system for pancreatitis in the emergency department based on bedside arterial blood gas analysis (ABG). Methods A single-center, retrospective cohort study was used to establish the new scoring system, and a validation group was used to verify it. The primary endpoint was 60-day death, and secondary endpoints were 28-day death, admission to the intensive care unit (AICU), requirement for mechanical ventilation (MV) and persistent organ failure (POF). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves was drawn to validate the predictive value of the new scoring system. The performance of the new scoring system was compared with that of conventional predictive scoring. Results 443 patients were in the derivation group and 217 patients in the validation group, of which 27 and 25 died during follow-up. A total of 443 patients in the derivation group, 27 of whom died during the follow-up period. Multivariate regression analysis showed that mental status, hematocrit (HCT), base excess (BE) and Serum ionic calcium (Ca2+) were independent risk factors for 60-day mortality of pancreatitis, and they were used to create a new scoring system (MHBC). In the derivation and validation, the ability of MHBC (AUC= 0.922, 0.773, respectively) to predict 60-day mortality from pancreatitis was no less than that of APACHE II (AUC= 0.838, 0.748, respectively) and BISAP (AUC= 0.791, 0.750, respectively), while, MHBC is more quickly and concisely than APACHE II and BISAP. Compared with MHBC less than or equal to 2, when MHBC is greater than 2, the 28-day mortality, 60-day mortality and the incidence of AICU, MV and POF increased significantly (P <0.001). Conclusion The MHBC can quickly and concisely evaluate the 60-day mortality, 28-day mortality, and the incidence of AICU, MV and POF of patients with acute pancreatitis in the emergency department.

Abstract
Background: General pathophysiological mechanisms regarding associations between fluid administration and intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) are evident, but specific effects of type, amount, and timing of fluids are less clear. Objectives: This review aims to summarize current knowledge on associations between fluid administration and intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) and fluid management in patients at risk of intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). Methods: We performed a structured literature search from 1950 until May 2021 to identify evidence of associations between fluid management and intra-abdominal pressure not limited to any specific study or patient population. Findings were summarized based on the following information: general concepts of fluid management, physiology of fluid movement in patients with intra-abdominal hypertension, and data on associations between fluid administration and IAH. Results: We identified three randomized controlled trials (RCTs), 38 prospective observational studies, 29 retrospective studies, 18 case reports in adults, two observational studies and 10 case reports in children, and three animal studies that addressed associations between fluid administration and IAH. Associations between fluid resuscitation and IAH were confirmed in most studies. Fluid resuscitation contributes to the development of IAH. However, patients with IAH receive more fluids to manage the effect of IAH on other organ systems, thereby causing a vicious cycle. Timing and approach to de-resuscitation are of utmost importance, but clear indicators to guide this decision-making process are lacking. In selected cases, only surgical decompression of the abdomen can stop deterioration and prevent further morbidity and mortality. Conclusions: Current evidence confirms an association between fluid resuscitation and secondary IAH, but optimal fluid management strategies for patients with IAH remain controversial.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to summarize the overall association between the choice of fluid (lactated Ringer's [LR] or normal saline [NS]) and clinical outcomes in patients with acute pancreatitis. METHODS A systematic literature search was performed in electronic databases to identify eligible randomized controlled trials. Meta-analyses with the random-effects and IVhet models were used to estimate the pooled odds ratio (OR) for outcomes of interest with the administration of LR relative to NS, at 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS There was a significant reduction in the odds of intensive care unit admission and development of local complications, respectively, with the administration of LR among hospitalized patients with acute pancreatitis relative to administration of NS (pooled ORs, 0.33 [95% CI, 0.13-0.81] and 0.43 [95% CI, 0.21-0.89], respectively). CONCLUSIONS Our findings are able to assist clinicians in the navigation of the proper choice of fluid in patients with acute pancreatitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Persistent organ failure (POF) increases the risk of death in patients with acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP). Currently, there is no early risk assessment tool for POF in patients with ABP. AIMS To establish and validate a dynamic nomogram for predicting the risk of POF in ABP. METHODS This was a retrospective study of 792 patients with ABP, with 595 cases in the development group and 197 cases in the validation group. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression screened the predictors of POF, and logistic regression established the model (P < 0.05). A dynamic nomogram showed the model. We evaluated the model's discrimination, calibration, and clinical effectiveness; used the bootstrap method for internal validation; and conducted external validation in the validation group. RESULTS Neutrophils, haematocrit, serum calcium, and blood urea nitrogen were predictors of POF in ABP. In the development group and validation group, the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUROCs) were 0.875 and 0.854, respectively, and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test (P > 0.05) and calibration curve showed good consistency between the actual and prediction probability. Decision curve analysis showed that the dynamic nomogram has excellent clinical value. CONCLUSION This dynamic nomogram helps with the early identification and screening of high-risk patients with POF in ABP.

Abstract
GOAL The goal of this study was to further determine the role of lactated Ringer (LR) compared with normal saline (NS) in managing acute pancreatitis (AP) as a consideration of fluid resuscitation. BACKGROUND Fluid resuscitation play a critically important role in managing AP, and NS and LR solutions were common selection in clinical practice. However, it remains debate about which regime may be more better for patients with AP. MATERIALS AND METHODS The PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane library were searched to find eligible randomized controlled trials focusing on the comparative efficacy and safety of LR and NS for the management of patients with AP. RESULTS Four eligible randomized controlled trials involving 248 patients to perform meta-analysis finally. Meta-analysis suggested no statistical difference between LR and NS groups in reducing the incidence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome at 24 hours [risk ratio (RR)=0.66, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.33-1.31, P=0.24], 48 hours (RR=0.70, 95% CI=0.29-1.68, P=0.42), and 72 hours (RR=0.68, 95% CI=0.37-1.25, P=0.22). Meanwhile, no statistical difference was detected between LR and NS groups in terms of in-hospital mortality, incidence of local complications, pancreatic necrosis, organ failure, and developing moderate-to-severe AP, and the length of hospital stay. However, incidence of intensive care unit admission in LR group was significantly lower than that in NS group (RR=0.39, 95% CI=0.18-0.85; P=0.02). CONCLUSION The current updated meta-analysis indicates that LR may be superior to NS in managing patients with AP because of LR has a potential advantage in decreasing the incidence of pancreatic necrosis and intensive care unit admission compared with NS.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of fluid therapy protocols in acute pancreatitis: type, rate and route. HPB (Oxford) 2021; 23:1629-1638. [PMID: 34325967 DOI: 10.1016/j.hpb.2021.06.426] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2021] [Revised: 06/21/2021] [Accepted: 06/25/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Adequate fluid resuscitation is paramount in the management of acute pancreatitis (AP). The aim of this study is to assess benefits and harms of fluid therapy protocols in patients with AP. METHODS MEDLINE, Embase, Science Citation Index and clinical trial registries were searched for randomised clinical trials published before May 2020, assessing types of fluids, routes and rates of administration. RESULTS A total 15 trials (1073 participants) were included. Age ranged from 38 to 73 years; follow-up period ranged from 0.5 to 6 months. Ringer lactate (RL) showed a reduced number of severe adverse events (SAE) when compared to normal saline (NS) (OR 0.48; 95%CI 0.29-0.81, p = 0.006); additionally, NS showed reduced SAE (RR 0.38; 95%IC 0.27-0.54, p < 0.001) and organ failure (RR 0.30; 95%CI 0.21-0.44, p < 0.001) in comparison with hydroxyethyl starch (HES). High fluid rate fluid infusion showed increased mortality (OR 2.88; 95%CI 1.41-5.88, p = 0.004), increased number of SAE (RR 1.42; 95%CI 1.04-1.93, p = 0.030) and higher incidence of sepsis (RR 2.80; 95%CI 1.51-5.19, p = 0.001) compared to moderate fluid rate infusion. CONCLUSIONS In patients with AP, RL should be preferred over NS and HES should not be recommended. Based on low-certainty evidence, moderate-rate fluid infusion should be preferred over high-rate infusion.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recent studies have evaluated and compared the efficacy of normal saline (NS) and lactated Ringer's (LR) in reducing the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP) and improving outcomes such as length of stay, the occurrence of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), ICU admission and mortality. We performed an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of the available studies to assess the impact of these fluids on outcomes secondary to AP. METHODS We systematically searched the following databases: PubMed/Medline, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science through February 8th, 2021 to include randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies. Random effects model using DerSimonian-Laird approach was employed and risk ratios (RR) and mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated for binary and continuous outcomes, respectively. RESULTS 6 studies (4 RCTs and 2 cohort studies) with 549 (230 in LR and 319 in NS) were included. The overall mortality (RR: 0.73, CI: 0.31-1.69) and SIRS at 24 h (RR: 0.69, CI: 0.32-1.51) was not significantly different. The overall ICU admission was lower in LR group compared to NS group (RR: 0.43, CI: 0.22-0.84). Subgroup analysis of RCTs demonstrated lower length of hospital stay for LR group compared to NS group (MD: 0.77 days, CI: 1.44 -0.09 days). CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated that LR improved outcomes (ICU admission and length of stay) in patients with AP compared to NS. There was no difference in rate of SIRS development and mortality between LR and NS treatments.

Abstract
Management of acute pancreatitis is challenging in the presence of local complications that include pancreatic and peripancreatic collections and vascular complications. This review, targeted for interventional radiologists, describes minimally invasive endoscopic, image-guided percutaneous, and surgical procedures for management of complicated pancreatitis and provides insight into the procedures' algorithmic application. Local complications are optimally managed in a multidisciplinary team setting that includes advanced endoscopists; pancreatic surgeons; diagnostic and interventional radiologists; and specialists in infectious disease, nutrition, and critical care medicine. Large symptomatic or complicated sterile collections and secondary infected collections warrant drainage or débridement. The drainage is usually delayed for 4-6 weeks unless clinical deterioration warrants early intervention. If collections are accessible by endoscopy, endoscopic procedures are preferred to avoid pancreaticocutaneous fistulas. Image-guided percutaneous drainage is indicated for symptomatic collections that are not accessible for endoscopic drainage or that present in the acute setting before developing a mature wall. Peripancreatic arterial pseudoaneurysms should be embolized before necrosectomy procedures to prevent potentially life-threatening hemorrhage. Surgical procedures are reserved for symptomatic collections that persist despite endoscopic or interventional drainage attempts. Understanding these procedures facilitates their integration by interventional radiologists into the complex longitudinal care of patients with complicated pancreatitis.

Abstract
Background There are few reports about the effect of glucocorticoids in the treatment of acute pancreatitis in humans. This study aims to evaluate the effect of glucocorticoids in the treatment of acute pancreatitis by propensity score matching analysis. Results Acute pancreatitis patients admitted between 2014 and 2019 were collected from the database and analyzed. Included patients were divided into the glucocorticoids-used group (GC group) and the non-glucocorticoids-used group (NGC group) according to whether glucocorticoids were used. A total of 818 eligible patients were included in the final analysis. Seventy-six patients were treated with glucocorticoids, and 742 patients were treated without glucocorticoids. Before propensity score matching, the triglyceride levels (38.2 ± 18.5 vs. 20.2 ± 16.8, P < 0.05) and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) scores (7.1 ± 2.5 vs. 4.5 ± 2.1, P < 0.05) at admission were significantly higher in the GC group than in the NGC group. The incidence of multi-organ failure (33.3% vs. 11.9%, P < 0.05) was significantly higher in the GC group than in the NGC group. Patients in the GC group showed a positive balance of fluid intake and output over 72 h. After 1:1 propensity score matching, 59 patients from each group (GC and NGC) were included in the analysis. There were no significant differences in age, sex, body mass index, triglycerides, or APACHE II scores between the two groups (P > 0.05), and the patients’ clinical outcomes were reversed. The proportion of patients with organ failure (40.7% vs. 52.5%, p < 0.05) and multi-organ failure (35.0% vs. 67.7%, P < 0.05) was significantly lower in the GC group than in the NGC group. Furthermore, patients in the GC group had significantly shorter lengths of hospital stay (12.9 ± 5.5 vs. 16.3 ± 7.7, P < 0.05) and costs (25,348.4 ± 2512.6vs. 32,421.7 ± 2813.3, P < 0.05) than those in the NGC group. Conclusions This study presents preliminary confirmation of the beneficial effect of glucocorticoids in the treatment of acute pancreatitis. More high-quality prospective studies are needed in the future.

Abstract
The incidence of acute pancreatitis continues to rise, inducing substantial medical and social burden, with annual costs exceeding $2 billion in the United States alone. Although most patients develop mild pancreatitis, 20% develop severe and/or necrotizing pancreatitis, requiring advanced medical and interventional care. Morbidity resulting from local and systemic complications as well as invasive interventions result in mortality rates historically as high as 30%. There has been substantial evolution of strategies for interventions in recent years, from open surgery to minimally invasive surgical and endoscopic step-up approaches. In contrast to the advances in invasive procedures for complications, early management still lacks curative options and consists of adequate fluid resuscitation, analgesics, and monitoring. Many challenges remain, including comprehensive management of the entire spectrum of the disease, which requires close involvement of multiple disciplines at specialized centers.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common clinical emergency disorder, and its morbidity is increasing gradually. Severe AP (SAP) often occurs with a sudden onset and high mortality. Microcirculation disturbance and hemodynamic abnormality is one of the main pathophysiologic mechanisms of SAP. Early fluid resuscitation is the cornerstone of therapy. However, at present, the fluid type, the amount of fluid resuscitation, and the rehydration rate are still in dispute. Early goal-directed fluid therapy as an important individualized liquid resuscitation strategy has great significance to improve the prognosis of SAP. This article reviews the pathophysiological mechanisms of microcirculation disturbance, the related dispute of liquid resuscitation therapy, and the application of early goal-directed treatment strategy.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis is an acute abdominal disease, with 10-20% of the cases deteriorating rapidly, accompanied by persistent organ failure and further development into severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). The aim of the present study was to investigate the mechanism of fluid resuscitation via the rectum in the early stages of SAP and the role of aquaporins (AQPs). An SAP model was constructed by injection of 5% sterile sodium taurocholate into the biliopancreatic duct of Sprague Dawley rats, and the mean arterial pressure (MAP) was continuously monitored via femoral artery catheterization. At 30 min after the construction of the SAP model, the rats in the fluid resuscitation groups were resuscitated with normal saline at a rate of 4 ml/kg/h through the venous or the rectal route. The AQP and Na+-K+-ATPase levels, and the correlation of the MAP and colon AQPs at the early stages of SAP were analyzed. The results demonstrated that the mRNA level of AQP-3 and AQP-4 in the distal colon decreased significantly in the group subjected to fluid resuscitation via the rectum, while no significant differences were identified in the Na+-K+-ATPase levels of the colon in that group. Furthermore, a negative correlation was identified between the expression of AQPs and the MAP (P<0.01). Thus, fluid resuscitation via the rectum appears to ameliorate hemodynamic disorders through adjusting the expression of AQP-3 and AQP-4 in the distal colon in an experimental SAP model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Aggressive fluid resuscitation is recommended for initial management of acute pancreatitis. However, there are few studies which focus on types of fluid therapy. METHODS We performed a randomized controlled trial in patients with acute pancreatitis. The patients were randomized into two groups. Each group received Normal Saline solution (NSS) or Lactated Ringer's solution (LRS) through a goal-directed fluid resuscitation protocol. Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) at 24 and 48 h, mortality, presence of local complications and inflammatory markers were measured. RESULTS Forty-seven patients were included. Twenty-four patients (51%) received NSS and 23 patients received LRS. There was significant reduction in SIRS after 24 h among subjects who resuscitated with LRS compared with NSS (4.2% in NSS, 26.1% in LRS, P = 0.02). However, SIRS reduction at 48 h was not different between groups (33.4% in NSS, 26.1% in LRS, P = 0.88). Mortality was not different between NSS and LRS (4.2% in NSS, 0% in LRS, P = 1.00). CRP, ESR and procalcitonin increased at 24 h and 48 h after admission with no difference between the two groups. Local complications were 29.2% in NSS and 21.7% in LRS (P = 0.74). The median length of hospital stay was not significantly different in the two groups (5.5 days in NSS, 6 days in LRS, P = 0.915). CONCLUSIONS Lactated Ringer's solution was superior to NSS in SIRS reduction in acute pancreatitis only in the first 24 h. But SIRS at 48 h and mortality were not different between LRS and NSS.

Abstract
Summary
The aim of the paper was to determine the factors related to the initial therapy that may contribute to death from severe necrotizing acute pancreatitis and to analyze their clinical importance as well as possible additive effects.
A retrospective case-control study included all adult patients treated for severe necrotizing acute pancreatitis in the Clinical Center of Kragujevac, Serbia, during the five-year period (2006-2010.). The cases (n = 41) were patients who died, while the controls (n = 69) were participants who survived. In order to estimate the relationship between potential risk factors and observed outcome, crude and adjusted odds ratios (OR) with 95 % confidence intervals (CI) were calculated in logistic regression models.
Significant association with observed outcome was shown for the use of gelatin and/or hydroxyethyl starch (adjusted OR 12.555; 95 % CI 1.150-137.005), use of albumin (adjusted OR 27.973; 95 % CI 1.741-449.373), use of octreotide (adjusted OR 16.069; 95 % CI 1.072-240.821) and avoiding of enteral feeding (adjusted OR 3.933; 95 % CI 1.118-13.829), while the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs had protective role (adjusted OR 0.057; 95 % CI 0.004-0.805).
The risk of death in patients with predicted severe necrotizing acute pancreatitis could be reduced with avoidance of treatment with colloid solutions, albumin and octreotide, as well as with an early introduction of oral/enteral nutrition and use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES There is substantial evidence of superiority of enteral nutrition (EN) to parenteral nutrition in acute pancreatitis (AP) treatment, but few studies evaluated its effectiveness compared to no intervention. The objective of our trial was to compare the effects of EN to a nil-by-mouth (NBM) regimen in patients with AP. METHODS Patients with AP were randomized to receive either EN via a nasojejunal tube initiated within 24 h of admission or no nutritional support. Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) was assessed as the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes included mortality, organ failure, local complications, infected pancreatic necrosis, surgical interventions, length of hospital stay, adverse events and inflammatory response intensity. Outcomes were compared using Student's t-test and Mann-Whitney U test as appropriate. RESULTS 214 patients were randomized in total, 107 to each group. SIRS occurrence was similar between groups, with 48 (45%) versus 51 (48%), respectively (RR 0.94; 95% CI 0.71-1.26). No significant reduction of persistent organ failure (RR 0.81; 95% CI 0.52-1.27) and mortality (RR 0.59; 95% CI 0.28-1.23) was present in the EN group. There were no significant differences in other outcomes between the groups. When analyzing the occurrence of SIRS and mortality in subgroup of patients with severe disease no significant differences were noted. CONCLUSION Our results showed no significant reduction of persistent organ failure and mortality in patients with AP receiving early EN compared to patients treated with no nutritional support (NCT01965873).

Hemodynamic Variation and Intravenous Fluids Administered During ERCP and the Association With Post-ERCP Pancreatitis. Pancreas 2016; 45:293-7. [PMID: 26390424 DOI: 10.1097/mpa.0000000000000454] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES We sought to determine whether hypotension and the amount of intravenous (IV) fluids administered during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) were associated with post-ERCP pancreatitis. METHODS We identified patients who developed post-ERCP pancreatitis between 2009 and 2013. Using a case-control design, we extracted baseline and intra-ERCP vital signs and the amount of IV fluids given. We used regression to analyze the association between these factors and the risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis. RESULTS We found no association between intraprocedure hypotension (P = 0.17), bradycardia (P = 0.20), hypoxemia (P = 1.0), dehydration (P = 0.80), and post-ERCP pancreatitis. An increase in mean arterial pressure (MAP) more than 20 units from baseline (odds ratio [OR], 1.8; P = 0.03), increasing amount of IV fluids administered during ERCP (OR, 1.5; P = 0.03), female sex (OR, 2.6; P = 0.001), and younger age (OR, 1.02; P = 0.01) were associated with post-ERCP pancreatitis. In multivariate regression, female sex maintained statistical significance (P = 0.01); MAP more than 20 units from baseline (P = 0.1) and increased IV fluids (P = 0.09) showed an insignificant trend. CONCLUSIONS Hypotension during ERCP was not associated with post-ERCP pancreatitis. An increase in MAP more than 20 units from baseline and an increase in the amount of IV fluids administered during ERCP may increase the risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis.

Munigala S, Yadav D. Case-fatality from acute pancreatitis is decreasing but its population mortality shows little change. Pancreatology 2016; 16:542-50.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES The reasons for changing epidemiology of acute pancreatitis (AP) are poorly defined. We hypothesized that trends for severity, case-fatality and population mortality from AP will provide an insight into the rising burden of AP in the population. We evaluated trends in the hospitalizations, case-fatality, severity and population mortality related to AP in the US population. STUDY We used the National Hospital Discharge Survey to calculate age, sex and race standardized hospitalizations of and case-fatality rates for AP, and Vital Statistics to calculate AP-related population mortality from 1983 to 2010, using 2010 US census as the reference. RESULTS Number of discharges per 100,000 population with primary diagnosis of AP increased 2 times from 42.4 (95% CI 38.2-46.5) during 1983-1986 to 85.4 (95% CI 62.8-108.1) during 2007-2010. During corresponding intervals, case-fatality from AP decreased 62% from 2.02% (95% CI 2.01-2.04) to 0.79% (95% CI 0.78-0.80), but population mortality per million population due to AP as primary cause remained stable from 9.28 (95% CI 8.94-9.62) to 9.91 (95% CI 9.56-10.26), and from AP as any cause decreased significantly (but only 12%) from 20.87 (95% CI 20.36-21.38) to 18.48 (95% CI 18.00-18.96). Prevalence of severe AP increased from 5% (95% CI 4.95-5.05%) during 1991-1994 to 9.78% (95% CI 9.73-9.83%) during 2007-2010. CONCLUSION An increasing prevalence of severe disease suggests true population increase to be an important contributor to the rising incidence of AP. A lack of proportional increase in population mortality suggests the impact of medical advances in the evaluation and management of AP.

Beneficial effects of fluid resuscitation via the rectum on hemodynamic disorders and multiple organ injuries in an experimental severe acute pancreatitis model. Pancreatology 2015; 15:626-34. [PMID: 26424226 DOI: 10.1016/j.pan.2015.09.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2015] [Revised: 08/21/2015] [Accepted: 09/07/2015] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Exaggerated hydration is harmful for patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), and it can increase mortality rate. In this study, we investigated the role of fluid resuscitation via the rectum (FRVR) on the hemodynamic state and compared FRVR with intravenous fluid resuscitation (IVFR) on resuscitation effect and organ function in an early stage of SAP. METHODS We studied whether FRVR corrects hemodynamic disorders at an early stage of SAP in Spraque-Dawley (SD) rats and whether it mitigates organ dysfunction and whether FRVR is superior to IVFR. RESULTS In both IVFR and FRVR groups, we observed a rebound in the mean arterial pressure (MAP) after 5 h and 6 h of administration (p < 0.05), respectively. MAP of the FRVR group reached the same level as the SHAM group at the end of the treatment, with hematocrit declining compared with the non-fluid resuscitation (NFR) group (p < 0.05). A concomitant increase in abdominal ascites and the lung wet/dry ratio by IVFR was depressed in the FRVR group (p < 0.05). Liver function was ameliorated in both fluid resuscitation groups (p < 0.05), consistent with histopathological improvement. TNF-α in serum and MPO in the lungs and jejunum of the FRVR group were lower than the IVFR group (p < 0.05). Pancreas histopathological injuries were ameliorated by both IVFR and FRVR (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggested FRVR is a potential supplementary method for fluid management in an early stage of SAP and FRVR should be studied further.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate whether administration of Ringer’s solution (RL) could have an impact on the outcome of acute pancreatitis (AP).
METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study on 103 patients [68 men and 35 women, mean age 51.2 years (range, 19-92 years)] hospitalized between 2011 and 2012. All patients admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology of the Central Clinical Hospital of the Ministry of Interior (Poland) with a diagnosis of AP who had disease onset within 48 h of presentation were included in this study. Based on the presence of persistent organ failure (longer than 48 h) as a criterion for the diagnosis of severe AP (SAP) and the presence of local complications [diagnosis of moderately severe AP (MSAP)], patients were classified into 3 groups: mild AP (MAP), MSAP and SAP. Data were compared between the groups in terms of severity (using the revised Atlanta criteria) and outcome. Patients were stratified into 2 groups based on the type of fluid resuscitation: the 1-RL group who underwent standard fluid resuscitation with a RL 1000 mL solution or the 2-NS group who underwent standard fluid resuscitation with 1000 mL normal saline (NS). All patients from both groups received an additional 5% glucose solution (1000-1500 mL) and a multi-electrolyte solution (500-1000 mL).
RESULTS: We observed 64 (62.1%) patients with MAP, 26 (25.24%) patients with MSAP and 13 (12.62%) patients with SAP. No significant difference in the distribution of AP severity between the two groups was found. In the 1-RL group, we identified 22 (55.5%) MAP, 10 (25.5%) MSAP and 8 (20.0%) SAP patients, compared with 42 (66.7%) MAP, 16 (24.4%) MSAP and 5 (7.9%) SAP cases in the 2-NS group (P = 0.187). The volumes of fluid administered during the initial 72-h period of hospitalization were similar among the patients from both the 1-RL and 2-NS groups (mean 3400 mL vs 3000 mL, respectively). No significant differences between the 1-RL and 2-NS groups were found in confirmed pancreatic necrosis [10 patients (25%) vs 12 patients (19%), respectively, P = 0.637]. There were no statistically significant differences between the 1-RL and 2-NS groups in the percentage of patients who required enteral nutrition (23 patients vs 17 patients, respectively, P = 0.534). Logistic regression analysis confirmed these findings (OR = 1.344, 95%CI: 0.595-3.035, P = 0.477). There were no significant differences between the 1-RL and 2-NS groups in mortality and the duration of hospital stay (median of 9 d for both groups, P = 0.776).
CONCLUSION: Our study failed to find any evidence that the administration of RL in the first days of AP leads to improved clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis remains a clinical challenge, despite an exponential increase in our knowledge of its complex pathophysiological changes. Early fluid therapy is the cornerstone of treatment and is universally recommended; however, there is a lack of consensus regarding the type, rate, amount and end points of fluid replacement. Further confusion is added with the newer studies reporting better results with controlled fluid therapy. This review focuses on the pathophysiology of fluid depletion in acute pancreatitis, as well as the rationale for fluid replacement, the type, optimal amount, rate of infusion and monitoring of such patients. The basic goal of fluid epletion should be to prevent or minimize the systemic response to inflammatory markers. For this review, various studies and reviews were critically evaluated, along with authors’ recommendations, for predicted severe or severe pancreatitis based on the available evidence.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a frequent disease with degrees of increasing severity responsible for high morbidity. Despite continuous improvement in care, mortality remains significant. Because hypovolemia, together with microcirculatory dysfunction lead to poor outcome, fluid therapy remains a cornerstone of the supportive treatment. However, poor clinical evidence actually support the aggressive fluid therapy recommended in recent guidelines since available data are controversial. Fluid management remains unclear and leads to current heterogeneous practice. Different strategies may help to improve fluid resuscitation in AP. On one hand, integration of fluid therapy in a global hemodynamic resuscitation has been demonstrated to improve outcome in surgical or septic patients. Tailored fluid administration after early identification of patients with high-risk of poor outcome presenting inadequate tissue oxygenation is a major part of this strategy. On the other hand, new decision parameters have been developed recently to improve safety and efficiency of fluid therapy in critically ill patients. In this review, we propose a personalized strategy integrating these new concepts in the early fluid management of AP. This new approach paves the way to a wide range of clinical studies in the field of AP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early fluid resuscitation is recommended for the therapy of acute pancreatitis in order to prevent complications. There are, however, no convincing data supporting this approach. METHODS We reviewed 391 consecutive cases of confirmed acute pancreatitis. Admitting physicians had been advised to administer an aggressive fluid resuscitation in the early phase of disease, if possible. We tested whether disease severity according to the revised Atlanta Classification, local complications, and maximum C-reactive protein levels were predictable by the initial volume therapy in logistic and linear regression models, respectively. We also determined which parameters on admission encouraged a more aggressive fluid resuscitation. RESULTS The recorded fluid administered within the first 24 h was 5300 [3760; 7100] ml (median [1st; 3rd quartile]). More aggressive volume therapy was associated with disease severity and a higher rate of local complications. There was a linear relationship between administered volume and the maximum C-reactive protein. The amount of administered fluid was significantly attributed to age, hematocrit, and white blood cell count on admission. When adjusted for these parameters the impact of administered volume on outcome was still present but attenuated. CONCLUSIONS We found detrimental effects of fluid therapy on major outcome parameters throughout the whole range of administered volume. More volume was administered in younger patients and in patients with evidence of hemoconcentration and inflammation. The adverse effects of volume therapy persisted after elimination of these parameters. Caution should therefore be advised with regards to volume therapy in patients with acute pancreatitis.

Abstract
AIM: To assess the significance of changes in hematocrit in patients with moderately severe acute pancreatitis (MSAP).
METHODS: A cohort study was performed on patients admitted with AP from January 2012 to June 2013. AP was defined according to the Atlanta classification and patients were categorized into three groups - mild AP, moderate AP and severe AP. Hematocrit (HCT) levels were calculated to determine risk of severity associated with elevated HCT level at admission and rise in HCT level at 24 h. Accuracy of the HCT measurement was determined by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis.
RESULTS: A total of 94 AP cases were included in analysis, of whom 8 had severe AP, 65 had mild AP, and 21 had moderate AP. HCT levels at admission and at 24 h was significantly different between patients with mild AP and those with severe AP (P < 0.05). HCT levels at admission differed significantly between patients with moderate AP and those with severe AP (P < 0.05). The sensitivity of hematocrit ≥ 38% as a marker for detection of moderate AP at admission was 57%, the specificity was 51% and the positive predictive value was 88%.
CONCLUSION: Hematocrit ≥ 38% is probably used to detect moderate AP at the time of admission.

Early factors associated with fluid sequestration and outcomes of patients with acute pancreatitis. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol 2014; 12:997-1002.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Predicting level of fluid sequestration could help identify patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) who need more or less aggressive fluid resuscitation. We investigated factors associated with level of fluid sequestration in the first 48 hours after hospital admission in patients with AP and effects on outcome. METHODS We analyzed data from consecutive adult patients with AP admitted to the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, from June 2005 to December 2007 (n = 266) or the Alicante University General Hospital in Spain from September 2010 to December 2012 (n = 137). Level of fluid sequestration in the first 48 hours after hospital admission was calculated by subtracting the total amount of fluid administered and lost in the first 48 hours of hospitalization. Demographic and clinical variables obtained in the emergency department were analyzed to identify factors associated with level of fluid sequestration in the first 48 hours after hospital admission. Outcome assessed included length of hospital stay, acute fluid collection(s), pancreatic necrosis, persistent organ failure, and mortality. RESULTS The median level of fluid sequestration in the first 48 hours after hospital admission was 3.2 L (1.4-5 L). The simple and multiple linear regression models showed that younger age, alcohol etiology, hematocrit, glucose, and systemic inflammatory response syndrome were significantly associated with increased levels of fluid sequestration in the first 48 hours after hospital admission. Increased level of fluid sequestration in the first 48 hours was significantly associated with longer hospital stays and higher rates of acute fluid collection, pancreatic necrosis, and persistent organ failure. There was a nonsignificant trend toward a higher level of fluid sequestration in the first 48 hours among patients who died. CONCLUSION Age, alcoholic etiology of AP, hematocrit, glucose, and presence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome in the emergency department were independent predictors of increased levels of fluid sequestration in the first 48 hours after hospital admission. These patients have higher risks of local and systemic complications and longer hospital stays.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Some 15 per cent of all patients with acute pancreatitis develop necrotizing pancreatitis, with potentially significant consequences for both patients and healthcare services.
Methods
This review summarizes the latest insights into the surgical and medical management of necrotizing pancreatitis. General management strategies for the treatment of complications are discussed in relation to the stage of the disease.
Results
Frequent clinical evaluation of the patient's condition remains paramount in the first 24–72 h of the disease. Liberal goal-directed fluid resuscitation and early enteral nutrition should be provided. Urgent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is indicated when cholangitis is suspected, but it is unclear whether this is appropriate in patients with predicted severe biliary pancreatitis without cholangitis. Antibiotic prophylaxis does not prevent infection of necrosis and antibiotics are not indicated as part of initial management. Bacteriologically confirmed infections should receive targeted antibiotics. With the more conservative approach to necrotizing pancreatitis currently advocated, fine-needle aspiration culture of pancreatic or extrapancreatic necrosis will less often lead to a change in management and is therefore indicated less frequently. Optimal treatment of infected necrotizing pancreatitis consists of a staged multidisciplinary ‘step-up’ approach. The initial step is drainage, either percutaneous or transluminal, followed by surgical or endoscopic transluminal debridement only if needed. Debridement is delayed until the acute necrotic collection has become ‘walled-off’.
Conclusion
Outcome following necrotizing pancreatitis has improved substantially in recent years as a result of a shift from early surgical debridement to a staged, minimally invasive, multidisciplinary, step-up approach.

Abstract
Severe acute pancreatitis (AP) is associated with an increased need for fluids due to fluid sequestration and, in the most severe cases, with decreased peripheral vascular tone. For several decades, clinical practice guidelines have recommended aggressive fluid therapy to improve the prognosis of AP. This recommendation is based on theoretical models, animal studies, and retrospective studies in humans. Recent studies suggest that aggressive fluid administration in all patients with AP could have a neutral or harmful effect. Fluid therapy based on Ringer's lactate could improve the course of the disease, although further studies are needed to confirm this possibility. Most patients with AP do not require invasive monitoring of hemodynamic parameters to guide fluid therapy administration. Moreover, the ability of these parameters to improve prognosis has not been demonstrated.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) in children is an increasingly recognised clinical entity notably different from the adults with respect to incidence, aetiology, severity and outcome. Yet our current understanding and approach to the management of paediatric pancreatitis is based almost entirely on adult studies. Acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) in children is more likely associated with various genetic factors, some of which have been relatively well characterised and others are in an evolving phase. The aim of this review is to summarise current knowledge, highlight any recent advances and contrast the paediatric and adult forms of this condition.

Abstract
AIM: To compare effects of different resuscitation fluid on microcirculation, inflammation, intestinal barrier and clinical results in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).
METHODS: One hundred and twenty patients with SAP were enrolled at the Pancreatic Disease Institute between January 2007 and March 2010. The patients were randomly treated with normal saline (NS group), combination of normal saline and hydroxyethyl starch (HES) (SH group), combination of normal saline, hydroxyethyl starch and glutamine (SHG group) in resuscitation. The ratio of normal saline to HES in the SH and SHG groups was 3:1. The glutamine (20% glutamine dipeptide, 100 mL/d) was supplemented into the resuscitation liquid in the SHG group. Complications and outcomes including respiratory and abdominal infection, sepsis, abdominal hemorrhage, intra-abdominal hypertension, abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS), renal failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), operation intervention, length of intensive care unit stay, length of hospital stay, and mortality at 60 d were compared. Moreover, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), gastric intramucosal pH value (pHi), intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), inflammation cytokines, urine lactulose/mannitol (L/M) ratio, and serum endotoxin were investigated to evaluate the inflammatory reaction and gut barrier.
RESULTS: Compared to the NS group, patients in the SH and SHG groups accessed the endpoint more quickly (3.9 ± 0.23 d and 4.1 ± 0.21 d vs 5.8 ± 0.25 d, P < 0.05) with less fluid volume (67.26 ± 28.53 mL/kg/d, 61.79 ± 27.61 mL/kg per day vs 85.23 ± 21.27 mL/kg per day, P < 0.05). Compared to the NS group, incidence of renal dysfunction, ARDS, MODS and ACS in the SH and SHG groups was obviously lower. Furthermore, incidence of respiratory and abdominal infection was significantly decreased in the SH and SHG groups, while no significant difference in sepsis was seen. Moreover, less operation time was needed in the SH and SHG group than the NS group, but the difference was not significant. The mortality did not differ significantly among these groups. Blood SpO2 and gastric mucosal pHi in the SH and SHG groups increased more quickly than in the NS group, while IAP was significantly decreased in the SH and SHG group. Moreover, the serum tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-8 and C-reactive protein levels in the SH and SHG groups were obviously lower than in the NS group at each time point. Furthermore, urine L/M ratio and serum endotoxin were significantly lower in the SH group and further decreased in the SHG group.
CONCLUSION: Results indicated that combination of normal saline, HES and glutamine are more efficient in resuscitation of SAP by relieving inflammation and sustaining the intestinal barrier.
