Abstract
Patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) are at increased risk of acute (AP) and chronic (CP) pancreatitis, and their complications. The extent of remaining healthy pancreatic parenchyma determines the risk of developing future episodes of pancreatitis, as well as pancreatic exocrine or endocrine insufficiency. Pancreatitis may be the presenting symptom of CF, and genetic testing is especially important in pediatrics. AP and recurrent AP are managed with intravenous fluid hydration and pain control, in addition to early refeeding and treatment of complications. With the use of modulator therapy in CF, pancreatic function may be restored to some extent. CP related pain is managed with analgesics and neuromodulators, with surgery if indicated in specific situations including TPIAT as a possible type of surgical intervention. Long-term sequelae of CP in patients with CF include exocrine pancreatic insufficiency treated with pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy, fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies and associated metabolic complications such as bone disease/osteoporosis, pancreatogenic diabetes, and less commonly, pancreatic cancer. We review the presentation and etiologies of pancreatitis in CF patients as well as the management of AP and CP primarily in children.

Lactated Ringers Use in the First 24 Hours of Hospitalization Is Associated With Improved Outcomes in 999 Patients With Acute Pancreatitis. Am J Gastroenterol 2023; 118:2258-2266.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recent pilot trials in acute pancreatitis (AP) found that lactated ringers (LR) usage may result in decreased risk of moderately severe/severe AP compared with normal saline, but their small sample sizes limit statistical power. We investigated whether LR usage is associated with improved outcomes in AP in an international multicenter prospective study. METHODS Patients directly admitted with the diagnosis of AP were prospectively enrolled at 22 international sites between 2015 and 2018. Demographics, fluid administration, and AP severity data were collected in a standardized prospective manner to examine the association between LR and AP severity outcomes. Mixed-effects logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the direction and magnitude of the relationship between the type of fluid administered during the first 24 hours and the development of moderately severe/severe AP. RESULTS Data from 999 patients were analyzed (mean age 51 years, female 52%, moderately severe/severe AP 24%). Usage of LR during the first 24 hours was associated with reduced odds of moderately severe/severe AP (adjusted odds ratio 0.52; P = 0.014) compared with normal saline after adjusting for region of enrollment, etiology, body mass index, and fluid volume and accounting for the variation across centers. Similar results were observed in sensitivity analyses eliminating the effects of admission organ failure, etiology, and excessive total fluid volume. DISCUSSION LR administration in the first 24 hours of hospitalization was associated with improved AP severity. A large-scale randomized clinical trial is needed to confirm these findings.

Timing of Cholecystectomy After Moderate and Severe Acute Biliary Pancreatitis. JAMA Surg 2023; 158:e233660. [PMID: 37610760 PMCID: PMC10448376 DOI: 10.1001/jamasurg.2023.3660] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 06/01/2023] [Indexed: 08/24/2023]
Abstract
Importance Considering the lack of equipoise regarding the timing of cholecystectomy in patients with moderately severe and severe acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP), it is critical to assess this issue. Objective To assess the outcomes of early cholecystectomy (EC) in patients with moderately severe and severe ABP. Design, Settings, and Participants This cohort study retrospectively analyzed real-life data from the MANCTRA-1 (Compliance With Evidence-Based Clinical Guidelines in the Management of Acute Biliary Pancreatitis) data set, assessing 5304 consecutive patients hospitalized between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2020, for ABP from 42 countries. A total of 3696 patients who were hospitalized for ABP and underwent cholecystectomy were included in the analysis; of these, 1202 underwent EC, defined as a cholecystectomy performed within 14 days of admission. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models were used to identify prognostic factors of mortality and morbidity. Data analysis was performed from January to February 2023. Main Outcomes Mortality and morbidity after EC. Results Of the 3696 patients (mean [SD] age, 58.5 [17.8] years; 1907 [51.5%] female) included in the analysis, 1202 (32.5%) underwent EC and 2494 (67.5%) underwent delayed cholecystectomy (DC). Overall, EC presented an increased risk of postoperative mortality (1.4% vs 0.1%, P < .001) and morbidity (7.7% vs 3.7%, P < .001) compared with DC. On the multivariable analysis, moderately severe and severe ABP were associated with increased mortality (odds ratio [OR], 361.46; 95% CI, 2.28-57 212.31; P = .02) and morbidity (OR, 2.64; 95% CI, 1.35-5.19; P = .005). In patients with moderately severe and severe ABP (n = 108), EC was associated with an increased risk of mortality (16 [15.6%] vs 0 [0%], P < .001), morbidity (30 [30.3%] vs 57 [5.5%], P < .001), bile leakage (2 [2.4%] vs 4 [0.4%], P = .02), and infections (12 [14.6%] vs 4 [0.4%], P < .001) compared with patients with mild ABP who underwent EC. In patients with moderately severe and severe ABP (n = 108), EC was associated with higher mortality (16 [15.6%] vs 2 [1.2%], P < .001), morbidity (30 [30.3%] vs 17 [10.3%], P < .001), and infections (12 [14.6%] vs 2 [1.3%], P < .001) compared with patients with moderately severe and severe ABP who underwent DC. On the multivariable analysis, the patient's age (OR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.02-1.36; P = .03) and American Society of Anesthesiologists score (OR, 5.91; 95% CI, 1.06-32.78; P = .04) were associated with mortality; severe complications of ABP were associated with increased mortality (OR, 50.04; 95% CI, 2.37-1058.01; P = .01) and morbidity (OR, 33.64; 95% CI, 3.19-354.73; P = .003). Conclusions and Relevance This cohort study's findings suggest that EC should be considered carefully in patients with moderately severe and severe ABP, as it was associated with increased postoperative mortality and morbidity. However, older and more fragile patients manifesting severe complications related to ABP should most likely not be considered for EC.

The Prevalence of Simultaneously Ordering Amylase and Lipase for Diagnosing Pancreatitis. Emerg Med Int 2023; 2023:3988278. [PMID: 37811499 PMCID: PMC10551519 DOI: 10.1155/2023/3988278] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2023] [Revised: 09/01/2023] [Accepted: 09/14/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The simultaneous measurement of serum amylase and lipase levels in the diagnosis of pancreatitis was deemed unnecessary in several studies. We aim at evaluating the prevalence of the simultaneous co-ordering of serum amylase and lipase. Methods This retrospective chart review was conducted at King Saud University Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between January 2021 and January 2022. We examined requests for serum amylase or serum lipase levels that had been sought for suspected pancreatitis within the electronic health system (EHS). Results A total of 9,617 requests for serum amylase and serum lipase levels for 5,536 patients were made in a year; 6,873 (71.5%) were made for serum lipase alone; 1,672 (17.4%) were made for co-ordered serum lipase and amylase; 322 (3.3%) were made for amylase alone; and 750 (7.8%) were made for repeated amylase testing. Four hundred and thirteen tests (4.3%) yielded a diagnosis of pancreatitis. The estimated cost reduction when serum amylase was removed if serum lipase was co-ordered was 108,680 SAR (approximately US$28,960). Conclusion Serum amylase and lipase were co-ordered for about 17.4% of pancreatitis diagnostic tests, all of which were unnecessary. Eliminating serum amylase testing for any patient who receives a test of their lipase levels would exert a significant impact on institutional costs and savings.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the predictive value of combination of Bedside Index for Severity in AP (BISAP) score and miR-155 for the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP). Patients and Methods A total of 1046 AP patients were divided into control group and case group according to the severity of AP [mild and moderately severe AP vs severe AP (SAP)]. Demographic data, comorbidities, clinical characteristics and laboratory data were collected. Multivariate analysis was conducted for the variables with two-sided P<0.10 in univariate analysis to identify independent associated factors for progression to SAP in AP patients. The predictive values were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the area under curve (AUC) was compared using Z test. Results A total of 117 (11.2%) patients were evaluated as SAP. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in age, hypertension, ICU admission, hospital stay, Leukocytes, CRP, BUN, BISAP score and miR-155 between case group and control group (P<0.05), and the P value of Fibrinogen was <0.10. Multivariate analysis showed that the BISAP score, BUN, Leukocytes, age and CRP were independent risk factors for progression to SAP among AP patients after adjusting for hypertension, ICU admission, hospital stay and Fibrinogen, while miR-155 was a protective factor. The ROC curves demonstrated the AUCs of BISAP score, miR-155 and their combination were 0.842 (SE: 0.017, 95% CI: 0.809–0.874), 0.751 (SE: 0.022, 95% CI: 0.708–0.793) and 0.945 (SE: 0.007, 95% CI: 0.931–0.959), respectively. Z test showed that the AUC of combination prediction was significantly higher than that of individual predictions (0.945 vs 0.842, Z=5.602, P<0.001; 0.945 vs 0.751, Z=8.403, P<0.001). The sensitivity, specificity and negative predictive value (NPV) of combination prediction were 95.7%, 93.6% and 99.4%, respectively. Conclusion The combination of the BISAP score and miR-155 should be utilized to elevate the predictive value for the severity of AP in clinic.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Acute peripancreatic fluid collection (APFC) is an acute local complication of acute pancreatitis (AP) according to the revised Atlanta classification. Sometimes APFC resolves completely, sometimes it changes into a pseudocyst or walled-off necrosis (WON), so called late complications. The aim of this study is to investigate the natural course of APFC detected on early computed tomography (CT) in moderately severe (MSAP) or severe AP (SAP). Materials and Methods: From October 2014 to September 2015, patients with MSAP or SAP were enrolled if there was APFC within 48 h of onset on imaging studies at six medical centers. The status of fluid collection was followed 4–8 weeks after onset. Initial laboratory findings, CT findings and clinical scoring systems were analyzed. Results: A total of 68 patients were enrolled and APFC was completely resolved in 32 (66.7%) patients in the MSAP group and 9 (34.6%) in the SAP group. Patients with a high bedside index for severity in acute pancreatitis (BISAP) score (≥3 points) were common in the SAP group. C-reactive protein (CRP) after 48 h from admission and BUN level were also high in the SAP group. In multivariate analysis, BISAP score (≥3 points), elevation of CRP after 48 h (≥150 mg/L) and nasojejunal feeding after 48 h were risk factors for the development of late complications. Conclusions: Spontaneous resolution of APFC was more common in MSAP group and APFC can be changed to pseudocyst or WON in patients with elevated BISAP score, CRP level after 48 h, and non-improved abdominal pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The main etiology of acute pancreatitis includes biliary origin and alcohol, although various other causes include drugs (i.e., L-asparaginase) or malignant tumors. Since accurate identification of etiologies is crucial for determining therapeutic planning, the assessment of cause should be performed as early as possible. CASE PRESENTATION A 57-year-old Korean man was admitted for chemotherapy. The patient did not drink alcohol for religious reason. 26 days prior to admission, a 4 cm-sized testicular mass was observed in ultrasound and he received right radial orchiectomy. Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type, was diagnosed. After confirming no additional abnormal findings, chemotherapy (using the regimens Dexamethasone, methotrexate, ifosfamide, L-asparaginase, and etoposide) was begun. On Day 8 of chemotherapy, L-asparaginase was started and he complained of sudden onset epigastric pain after 2 days. Acute pancreatitis was diagnosed and, in order to determine if the acute pancreatitis occurred due to L-asparaginase or pancreas involvement of extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, endoscopic ultrasonography guided fine needle biopsy was performed and observed diffusely infiltrated tumor cells. Therefore, he was given a final diagnosis of acute pancreatitis due to pancreas involvement of extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type. DISCUSSION Acute pancreatitis caused by pancreas involvement of extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type, is a very rare disease but can occur during chemotherapy. To identify the cause of acute pancreatitis, endoscopic ultrasonography guided fine needle biopsy can be considered.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Following an episode of acute biliary pancreatitis, cholecystectomy is advised to prevent recurrent biliary events. There is limited evidence regarding the optimal timing and safety of cholecystectomy in patients with necrotising biliary pancreatitis. DESIGN A post hoc analysis of a multicentre prospective cohort. Patients with biliary pancreatitis and a CT severity score of three or more were included in 27 Dutch hospitals between 2005 and 2014. Primary outcome was the optimal timing of cholecystectomy in patients with necrotising biliary pancreatitis, defined as: the optimal point in time with the lowest risk of recurrent biliary events and the lowest risk of complications of cholecystectomy. Secondary outcomes were the number of recurrent biliary events, periprocedural complications of cholecystectomy and the protective value of endoscopic sphincterotomy for the recurrence of biliary events. RESULTS Overall, 248 patients were included in the analysis. Cholecystectomy was performed in 191 patients (77%) at a median of 103 days (P25-P75: 46-222) after discharge. Infected necrosis after cholecystectomy occurred in four (2%) patients with persistent peripancreatic collections. Before cholecystectomy, 66 patients (27%) developed biliary events. The risk of overall recurrent biliary events prior to cholecystectomy was significantly lower before 10 weeks after discharge (risk ratio 0.49 (95% CI 0.27 to 0.90); p=0.02). The risk of recurrent pancreatitis before cholecystectomy was significantly lower before 8 weeks after discharge (risk ratio 0.14 (95% CI 0.02 to 1.0); p=0.02). The complication rate of cholecystectomy did not decrease over time. Endoscopic sphincterotomy did not reduce the risk of recurrent biliary events (OR 1.40 (95% CI 0.74 to 2.83)). CONCLUSION The optimal timing of cholecystectomy after necrotising biliary pancreatitis, in the absence of peripancreatic collections, is within 8 weeks after discharge.

Abstract
Management of acute pancreatitis and its complications has rapidly evolved in recent years. The earlier pillars of management that included prolonged bowel rest, empiric intravenous antibiotics, and early surgical intervention for complications such as pancreatic necrosis have become much less common. The latest evidence-based approaches to acute pancreatitis are taking almost a diametrically different path to previous management. The current strategy focuses on early feeding, judicious use of antibiotics, and delayed use of invasive interventions. Even in complex cases, when surgical interventions may be indicated, there is an expressed preference for minimally invasive techniques. We review the changes that have evolved rapidly over the past decade in this common clinical problem.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Determine if the pancreatic necrosis volume (PNV) in computed tomography scan (CT) is a useful marker to predict the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP) comparing its predictive value with current clinical scoring systems. METHODS This retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary hospital, including patients hospitalized with AP during the period of 24 months. Demographic, clinical data, length of hospital stay and analytical parameters were collected from the hospital clinical information digital systems. Other information on the severity of the disease was also reviewed, including BISAP score, organ failure (OF) or admission to the ICU, as well as, complications during hospitalization as infected necrotic collections, surgical procedure or death. The quantification of the necrosis volume, CT severity index and Balthazar score were assessed in the CT studies. ROC curves were carried to compare the correlation between different scoring systems and the acute complications. RESULTS This study included 163 patients with AP. The calculated average value of PNV in the CT studies was 242 cc (0-1575 cc). PNV showed lineal correlation with hospital stay (Pearson 0.696) and statistically significant association with acute complications as OF, multiple organ failure, infection, need of treatment or hospitalization at ICU (P < 0.05). The optimal cut-off value for predicting complications of necrosis as infections or need of surgery treatments was 75 cc. Sensibility and specificity were 100 % and 78 %, respectively. ROC curves showed that PNV was the best radiological finding correlated with AP complications. CONCLUSION Necrosis volume is a radiological biomarker highly correlated with AP complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This work aimed to study the early predictive value of extrapancreatic inflammation on magnetic resonance imaging (EPIM) for acute pancreatitis (AP) severity. METHODS The EPIM score, magnetic resonance severity index, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II) score, bedside index of severity in AP, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels were evaluated for 337 AP patients. The extrapancreatic inflammation on computed tomography (EPIC) was also assessed for 86 patients undergoing computed tomography. The predictive values of these scores for severe AP and organ failure were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve analyses. RESULTS Of the 337 AP patients, 55 (16.3%) had organ failure and 17 (5.0%) had severe AP. The EPIM showed a strong correlation with the EPIC (r = 0.794, P < 0.001) and had a higher correlation with the APACHE II and hospital stay compared with the EPIC. The accuracy of the EPIM in predicting severe AP and organ failure (areas under the curve, 0.844 and 0.817) was consistent with that of the APACHE II and bedside index of severity in AP, and higher than that of the magnetic resonance severity index. CONCLUSION The EPIM is more helpful in assessing AP severity than the EPIC and can indicate the occurrence of severe AP and organ failure early.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a rare complication of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), and is difficult to diagnose. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics of 7 cases of HFRS complicated with AP and 105 cases of acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP).Medical records of 83 hospitalized patients with HFRS and 105 hospitalized patients with ABP in the affiliated Yijishan Hospital of Wannan Medical College were reviewed. The comparative analysis of patients between the 2 groups was conducted in terms of sex, age, duration of hospital stay, fever, hemorrhage, proteinuria, oliguria, laboratory results, radiologic examinations, and prognosis.A total of 83 patients were diagnosed with HFRS during study period. Only 8.43% (7/83) of the total HFRS patients were diagnosed with AP. The differences in the gender, age, and duration of hospital stay between the 2 investigated groups of patients were not statistically significant. The major symptoms for all 7 patients with HFRS complicated with AP and 105 patients with ABP were fever and upper abdominal pain. During the disease course of HFRS complicated with AP, 6 patients experienced hemorrhaging, and 7 patients underwent an oliguric stage, but none of the ABP patients experienced hemorrhaging and oliguria. Among the laboratory results of all patients, the differences in alanine aminotransferase and glycemia were not statistically significant. The other laboratory results (leucocyte count, platelet count, amylase, lipase, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, and serum calcium level) were significantly different during hospitalization. All 7 patients with HFRS complicated with AP received conservative medical treatment and hemodialysis. In the patients with ABP, 21 patients were discharged from the hospital after conservative treatment, 53 patients were treated by endoscopic invasive treatment after stabilization, and 31 patients were treated by surgery after stabilization.AP is not a frequent complication in patients with HFRS. There are differences in clinical manifestations and laboratory findings between the HFRS complicated with AP group and the ABP group; these differences may help in the differential diagnosis and treatment of these 2 types of pancreatitis.

Abstract
Infected necrotizing pancreatitis (INP), the leading cause of mortality in the late phase of acute pancreatitis, nearly always requires intervention. In recent years minimal invasive surgery is becoming more and more popular for the management of INP, but few studies compared different minimally invasive strategies. The objective of this observation study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness with several minimal invasive treatment.We retrospectively reviewed cases of percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD), minimal access retroperitoneal pancreatic necrosectomy (MARPN), small incision pancreatic necrosectom (SIPN), single-incision access port retroperitoneoscopic debridement (SIAPRD) for INP between January 2013 and October 2018. Data were analyzed for the primary endpoints as well as secondary endpoints.Eighty-one patients with INP were treated by minimally invasive procedures including PCD (n = 32), MARPN (n = 18), SIPN (n = 16), and SIAPRD (n = 15). Overall mortality was greatest after PCD 34% (MARPN 11% vs SIPN 6% vs SIRLD6%). Problems after initial surgery were ongoing sepsis (PCD 56% vs MARPN 50% vs SIPN 31% vs SIAPRD13%; P < .05). There was a significant difference in number of interventions (median, 6 vs 5 vs 3 vs 2; P < .05). Time from onset of symptoms to recovery was less for SIAPRD than for PCD, MARPN, or SIPN (median, 45 vs 102 vs 80 vs 67 days; P < .05).SIAPRD remedy evidently improved outcomes, including systemic inflammatory response syndrome, number of interventions, length of hospital stay and overall cost. It is technically feasible, safe, and effective for INP, in contrast to others, and can achieve the best clinical results with the least cost. Furthermore, relevant multicentre randomized controlled trials are eager to prove these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to review the clinical management of patients with acute pancreatitis in a tertiary institute in Singapore, and to identify areas qualiy improvement based on validation against the recommendations in the IAP/APA and the Japanese guidelines. METHODS 391 patients from a prospective electronic database were included and reviewed for compliance to the International Association of Pancreatology (IAP)/American Pancreatic Association (APA) guidelines (2013) and the Japanase Guidelines (2015). RESULTS The 90 day mortality was 8.4% for moderately severe and 11.9% for severe pancreatitis. The accuracy of SIRS in predicting severe acute pancreatitis on admission was 72.1% and at 48 h 80.8%. Only 61.1% patients had ultrasound scan during their admission of whom 32.9% had it within 24 h of admission. 18.3% patients with initial diagnosis of idiopathic pancreatitis had EUS. 50% received Ringer lactate for initial fluid resuscitation. 38.7% received antibiotics as prophylaxis. 21.4% with severe acute pancreatitis had early enteral nutrition. Only 21.4% patients with biliary pancreatitis had index admission cholecystectomy. CONCLUSION The compliance to existing guidelines for management of acute pancreatitis is variable. Identifying gaps and implementing measures to address them allows for continued improvement in the management of patients with acute pancreatitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of acute pancreatitis (AP) is rising around the world, thus further increasing the burden on healthcare services. Approximately 20% of AP will develop severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) with persistent organ failure (>48 h), which is the leading cause of high mortality. To date, there is no specific drug in treating SAP, and the main treatment is still based on supportive care. However, some clinical control studies regarding the superiority of continuous blood purification (CBP) has been published recently. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of CBP in SAP treatment. METHODS Four databases (Medline, SinoMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library) were searched for eligible studies from 1980 to 2018 containing a total of 4 randomized controlled trials and 8 prospective studies. RESULTS After the analysis of data amenable to polling, significant advantages were found in favor of the CBP approach in terms of Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score (WMD = -3.00,95%CI = -4.65 to -1.35), serum amylase (WMD = -237.14, 95% CI = -292.77 to 181.31), serum creatinine (WMD = -80.54,95%CI = 160.17 to -0.92), length of stay in the ICU (WMD = -7.15,95%CI = -9.88 to -4.43), and mortality (OR = 0.60, 95%CI = 0.38-0.94). No marked differences were found in terms of C-reactive protein (CRP), alamine aminotransferase (ALT) and length of hospital stay (LOS). CONCLUSION Compared with conventional treatment, CBP remedy evidently improved clinical outcomes, including reduced incidence organ failure, decreased serum amylase, APACHE II score, length of stay in the ICU and lower mortality rate, leading us to conclude that it is a safer treatment option for SAP. Furthermore, relevant multicenter RCTs are required to prove these findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate the roles of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) in detecting the causes of acute pancreatitis after negative computed tomography (CT) findings. METHODS Demographic characteristics, blood test results, the severity of pancreatitis, and definite or possible etiology of pancreatitis by EUS and MRCP were evaluated prospectively in 65 consecutively admitted patients after negative CT findings. RESULTS Endoscopic ultrasonography and/or MRCP confirmed the definite causes of pancreatitis in 47.7% (31/65) (choledocholithiasis, 25; pancreatic divisum, 3; pancreatic cancer, 1; and pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, 1). The possible causes were cholelithiasis in 75.4%, pancreaticobiliary common channel (PBCC) in 70.8%, and both in 89.2%. The diagnostic values of EUS were higher than MRCP for choledocholithiasis (35.4% vs 12.3%, P < 0.05). Cholelithiasis and the common bile duct diameter were independent factors for the definite etiology of acute pancreatitis. Choledocholithiasis was inversely associated with PBCC, and the common bile duct diameter was the only independent factor associated with PBCC. CONCLUSIONS Endoscopic ultrasonography is a useful imaging modality for detecting definite or possible causes of acute pancreatitis. A PBCC as well as biliary lithiasis could be not uncommon causes of acute pancreatitis after negative CT findings.

Abstract
Pancreatic disorders in children represent a growing health problem in pediatric patients. In the past two decades, several advances have been made in the knowledge of pediatric pancreatic disorders, with better understanding of different etiologies and clinical manifestations of these disorders. Moreover, many efforts have been made in pancreatology, aiming to define guidelines in the management of pancreatitis in children, initially based on the available information in adults. A multidisciplinary and multicenter approach is necessary to better determine pancreatic disease pathways and treatment options in children.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Severe acute pancreatitis has a high mortality and its early identification is important for management and risk stratification. The bedside index for severity in acute pancreatitis (BISAP) is a simple scoring system done at admission which predicts the severity of pancreatitis. Procalcitonin is an inflammatory marker which is raised very early and helps in early prediction of the severity of disease. This study aims to evaluate the BISAP score and Procalcitonin in prognostication of acute pancreatitis. METHODS A prospective observational study of 60 patients presenting with acute pancreatitis was done at XXX Medical College and Hospital from July 2015 to June 2016. BISAP, APACHE-II, Ranson criteria, and CT severity index (CTSI) of all patients were calculated. Procalcitonin card test was done for all patients. The patients were stratified according by BISAP score and procalcitonin positivity into categories of severe pancreatitis, organ failure and pancreatic necrosis, as well as the number of deaths. The comparison of BISAP with other scoring systems, Procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), hematocrit, and body mass index (BMI) was done by the area under the receiver-operating curve (AUC) to prediction of severe acute pancreatitis, organ failure, necrosis, and death. RESULTS Of the 60 patients, 14 (23.3%) developed severe acute pancreatitis, 11 (18.3%) Organ failure, 21 (35%) pancreatic necrosis and 7 (11.6%) died. A BISAP score of ≥3 was a statistically significant cutoff value. AUCs for predicting severe pancreatitis and death of BISAP were 0.875 and 0.740respectively, similar to those for Ranson criteria (0.802, 0.763) and APACHE-II (0.891, 0.769) and greater than AUCs for CTSI (0.641, 0.554). The AUC for prediction of organ failure were 0.906, 0.833, 0.874 and 0.623 for BISAP, Ranson criteria, APACHE-II, and CTSI respectively. AUCs for PCT predicting severity, organ failure, and death were 0.940, 0.923 and 0.769 respectively were similar to BISAP but greater than those for CRP (0.755, 0.719, 0.693), hematocrit (0.540, 0.570, 0.550), and BMI (0.493, 0.523, 0.497). CONCLUSION The BISAP predicts severity, organ failure and death, in acute pancreatitis very well.It is as good as APACHE-II but better than Ranson criteria, CTSI, CRP, hematocrit, and BMI. PCT is a promising inflammatory marker with prediction rates similar to BISAP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Predicting severe pancreatitis is important for early aggressive management of patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). Despite the established role of diabetes mellitus (DM) in the risk of AP, the impact of DM on the clinical outcome in AP has not been fully elucidated. The objective of this study was to assess the risk of mortality and severity in AP among patients with type-2 DM. METHODS Patients diagnosed with first attacks of AP were enrolled from January 2013 to June 2015. RESULTS A total of 201 patients (63.2% male, mean age, 59.4 y) with AP were included. Etiologies included gallstones (51.2%), alcohol (37.3%), hypertriglyceridemia (2%), and idiopathic causes (9.5%). There were 54 AP patients (26.9%) with type-2 DM. Severity indices in AP, such as Atlanta Classification (severe), Ranson score, and Bedside Index of Severity in Acute Pancreatitis, were higher in subjects with DM than those without DM. Prevalence of intensive care unit admission and mortality were higher in AP patients with DM compared with those without DM. The association between DM and increased risk of mortality in AP remained statistically significant even after adjustments for confounding factors and Atlanta Classification (odds ratio, 7.76, 95% confidence interval, 1.26-47.63, P=0.027). CONCLUSIONS Type-2 DM was associated with severity and increased mortality in patients with AP. Our findings provide evidence of the potential role of DM in the pathogenesis and management of severe AP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) has considerable mortality and morbidity rates. Although many indices have been developed to classify the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP), an optimal method for predicting SAP has not been identified. The ratio of apolipoprotein B to A-I (apoB/A-I) is associated with metabolic syndrome and inflammatory status. This study investigated the association between severity of AP and serum apoB/A-I ratio. METHODS Patients with AP were prospectively enrolled at Yonsei University Wonju College of Medicine from March 2015 to August 2016. The severity of AP was assessed according to the revised Atlanta classification criteria (Atlanta 2012). RESULTS Of 191 patients with AP, 134 (70.2%) had mild AP, 42 (22%) had moderately severe AP, and 15 (7.9%) had SAP; apoB/A-I ratio was highest in patients with SAP (P = 0.001). The apoB/A-I ratio was positively correlated with Atlanta classification, computed tomography severity index, and Bedside index for severity of AP. The apoB/A-I ratio showed the highest predictive value for SAP in patients with AP compared with apolipoprotein B or apolipoprotein A-I alone. CONCLUSION Serum apoB/A-I ratio appears to have value for predicting SAP in patients with AP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the incidence of acute pancreatitis (AP) in children is increasing, management recommendations rely on adult published guidelines. Pediatric-specific recommendations are needed. METHODS The North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition Pancreas committee performed a MEDLINE review using several preselected key terms relating to management considerations in adult and pediatric AP. The literature was summarized, quality of evidence reviewed, and statements of recommendations developed. The authorship met to discuss the evidence, statements, and voted on recommendations. A consensus of at least 75% was required to approve a recommendation. RESULTS The diagnosis of pediatric AP should follow the published INternational Study Group of Pediatric Pancreatitis: In Search for a CuRE definitions (by meeting at least 2 out of 3 criteria: (1) abdominal pain compatible with AP, (2) serum amylase and/or lipase values ≥3 times upper limits of normal, (3) imaging findings consistent with AP). Adequate fluid resuscitation with crystalloid appears key especially within the first 24 hours. Analgesia may include opioid medications when opioid-sparing measures are inadequate. Pulmonary, cardiovascular, and renal status should be closely monitored particularly within the first 48 hours. Enteral nutrition should be started as early as tolerated, whether through oral, gastric, or jejunal route. Little evidence supports the use of prophylactic antibiotics, antioxidants, probiotics, and protease inhibitors. Esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, and endoscopic ultrasonography have limited roles in diagnosis and management. Children should be carefully followed for development of early or late complications and recurrent attacks of AP. CONCLUSIONS This clinical report represents the first English-language recommendations for the management of pediatric AP. Future aims should include prospective multicenter pediatric studies to further validate these recommendations and optimize care for children with AP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to clarify whether the current scoring systems and single serum markers used in pancreatitis remain applicable for the early prediction of infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN) and the severity and mortality of acute pancreatitis (AP) in accordance with the revised Atlanta and determinant-based classifications. METHODS Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data from 708 consecutive patients with AP were prospectively collected between January 2011 and December 2012. The severity was classified using the revised Atlanta and determinant-based classification systems. The predictive accuracies for moderately severe AP (MSAP), severe AP (SAP), critically severe AP (CAP), IPN, and mortality were measured using area under the receiver operating characteristic curves. RESULTS The receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that the multifactor scoring systems and single serum markers had a low predictive accuracy regarding moderately severe AP. The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score had the highest accuracy in predicting SAP with area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.75 (95% CI = 0.71-0.79) and 0.77 (95% CI = 0.73-0.81) at 24 and 48 h after admission, respectively. Procalcitonin was the most accurate predictor for CAP and IPN, with respective AUCs of 0.86 (95% CI = 0.82-0.89) and 0.83 (95% CI = 0.78-0.87) at 48 h after admission. In predicting mortality, both the APACHE II score and blood urea nitrogen had the highest accuracy. CONCLUSIONS The APACHE II score had the highest predictive accuracy for SAP and mortality as defined by the revised Atlanta classification, whereas procalcitonin was the most accurate predictor for CAP and IPN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The study aims to assess and compare the predicting ability of some scores and biomarkers in acute pancreatitis. METHODS We prospectively collected data from 269 patients diagnosed of acute pancreatitis, admitted to Virgen de las Nieves University Hospital between June 2010 and June 2012. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), C-reactive protein, and creatinine were measured on admission and after 48 h, lactate and bedside index for severity acute pancreatitis (BISAP) only on admission and RANSON within the first 48 h. Definitions from 2012 Atlanta Classification were used. Area under the curve (AUC) was calculated for each scoring system for predicting severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), mortality, and intensive care unit (ICU) admission, obtaining optimal cut-off values from the receiver operating characteristic curves. RESULTS Eight (3%) patients died, 17 (6.3%) were classified as SAP, and 10 (3.7%) were admitted in ICU. BISAP was the best predictor on admission for SAP, mortality, and ICU admission with an AUC of 0.9 (95% CI 0.83-0.97); 0.97 (95% CI 0.95-0.99); and 0.89 (95% CI 0.79-0.99), respectively. After 48 h, BUN 48 h was the best predictor of SAP (AUC = 0.96 CI: 0.92-0.99); BUN 48 h and BISAP were the best predictors for mortality (AUC = 0.97 CI: 0.95-0.99) and creatinine 48 h for ICU admission (AUC = 0.96 CI: 0.92-0.99). Lactate showed an AUC of 0.79 (CI: 0.71-0.88), 0.87 (CI: 0.78-0.96), and 0.77 (CI: 0.67-0.87) for SAP, mortality, and ICU admission, respectively. All parameters were predictors for SAP, mortality, and ICU admission, but C-reactive protein on admission was only a significant predictor of SAP. CONCLUSION Bedside index for severity acute pancreatitis is a good predictive system for SAP, mortality, and ICU admission, being useful for triaging patients for ICU management. Lactate could be useful for developing new scores.

Assessing the severity of acute pancreatitis (ASAP) in Switzerland: A nationwide survey on severity assessment in daily clinical practice. Pancreatology 2017; 17:356-363. [PMID: 28284583 DOI: 10.1016/j.pan.2017.02.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2016] [Revised: 01/21/2017] [Accepted: 02/06/2017] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES We aim to assess which tools for severity stratification in acute pancreatitis are used in today's daily clinical practice and to what extent the new Atlanta classification is being implemented by the medical community in Switzerland. METHODS The heads of surgical, medical and emergency departments of Swiss hospitals (n = 83) that directly treat patients with acute pancreatitis were given access to an online survey and asked to forward the questionnaire to their team. The questionnaire consisted of 16 items, including questions about the specialty background of the participants, the allocation of patients with AP, severity assessment, patient management, the role of imaging procedures, and future perspectives. RESULTS A total of 233 participants from 63 hospitals responded (response rate, 74%). A vast majority of participants [198 (87%)] does assess severity. The most frequently used tools are the Ranson [108 (87%)] and APACHE II scores [28 (23%)]. A majority of the participants were not satisfied with the currently available tools to assess severity [130 (59%)]. A minority [15 (12%)] use the revised Atlanta classification to assess the degree of severity in AP. CONCLUSIONS The Ranson score remains the dominant risk stratification tool in clinical practice in Switzerland, followed by the APACHE II score. Other modern instruments, such as the Atlanta 2012 classification, have not yet earned broad recognition and have not reached daily practice. Further efforts must be made to expand physicians' awareness of their existence and significance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The updated Atlanta Classification of acute pancreatitis (AP) in adults defined three levels of severity according to the presence of local and/or systemic complications and presence and length of organ failure. No study focused on complications and mortality of patients with moderately severe AP admitted to intensive care unit (ICU). The main aim of this study is to describe the complications developed and outcomes of these patients and compare them to those with severe AP. METHODS Prospective, observational study. We included patients with acute moderately severe or severe AP admitted in a medical-surgical ICU during 5years. We collected demographic data, admission criteria, pancreatitis etiology, severity of illness, presence of organ failure, local and systemic complications, ICU length of stay, and mortality. RESULTS Fifty-six patients were included: 12 with moderately severe AP and 44 with severe. All patients developed some kind of complications without differences on complications rate between moderately severe or severe AP. All the patients present non-infectious systemic complications, mainly acute respiratory failure and hemodynamic failure. 82.1% had an infectious complication, mainly non-pancreatic infection (66.7% on moderately severe AP vs. 79.5% on severe, p=0.0443). None of the patients with moderately severe AP died during their intensive care unit stay vs. 29.5% with severe AP (p=0.049). CONCLUSIONS Moderately severe AP has a high rate of complications with similar rates to patients with severe AP admitted to ICU. However, their ICU mortality remains very low, which supports the existence of this new group of pancreatitis according to their severity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the recent time trend of outcomes for severe acute pancreatitis after publication of Japanese guidelines based on a national administrative database. METHODS A total of 10,400 patients with severe acute pancreatitis were referred to 1021 hospitals between 2010 and 2012 in Japan. We collected patients' data from the administrative database to compare in-hospital mortality (within 28 days and overall), length of stay (LOS), and medical costs during hospitalization. The study periods were categorized into 3 groups according to fiscal year: 2010 (n = 2698), 2011 (n = 3842), and 2012 (n = 3860). RESULTS In-hospital mortality within 28 days and overall in-hospital mortality were significantly decreased according to fiscal year (6.3% [2010] vs 5.7% [2011] vs 4.5% [2012], P = 0.005; 7.6% vs 7.1% vs 5.6%, P = 0.002, respectively). However, mean LOS and medical costs were not different between fiscal years (27.0 vs 27.1 vs 26.9 days, P = 0.218; 13,998.0 vs 14,156.4 vs 14,319.2 USD, P = 0.232, respectively). CONCLUSIONS This study shows that mortality of severe acute pancreatitis was reduced according to the time course, whereas LOS or medical costs were stable after publication of the Japanese guidelines.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to compare the prognostic value of various predictors and complex scoring systems for prediction of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) according to the revised Atlanta classification. METHODS C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin were obtained on admission, and CRP level 24 hours after admission (CRP2) was measured. Various scoring systems including Ranson, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Examination (APACHE II), the Bedside Index for Severity in Acute Pancreatitis, and Computed Tomography Severity Index (CTSI) were calculated. RESULTS There were 146 patients with acute pancreatitis (mean age, 50.6 ± 18.3 years; 63% male), of which 43 patients (29.5%) received a diagnosis of moderately severe AP, and 17 patients (11.6%) received a diagnosis of SAP. In patients with moderately severe acute pancreatitis to SAP, CTSI (odds ratio [OR], 10.46; 95% confidence interval [CI], 4.3-25.43; P < 0.001), APACHE II (OR, 3.87; 95% CI, 1.18-12.64; P = 0.025), and CRP2 (OR, 4.5; 95% CI, 1.53-13.1; P = 0.006) were strongly related to moderately severe acute pancreatitis and SAP. In patients with SAP compared with mild to moderately severe AP, procalcitonin (OR, 4.36; 95% CI, 1.01-18.96; P = 0.049) was the only factor strongly associated with SAP. CONCLUSIONS Procalcitonin was the best predictor for patients with SAP; CTSI, APACHE II, and CRP2 were valuable predictors for patients with moderately severe acute pancreatitis and SAP.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis is common but remains a condition with significant morbidity and mortality. Despite a better understanding of the pathophysiology of acute pancreatitis achieved during the past few decades, there is no specific pharmacologic entity available. Therefore, supportive care is still the mainstay of treatment. Recently, novel interventions for increasing survival and minimizing morbidity have been investigated, which are highlighted in this review.

Abstract
RATIONALE, AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The ADAPTE methodology for adaptation of guidelines has been used by many organizations to develop high-quality clinical practice guidelines. Although it is a valid alternative for de novo development of guidelines, it might demand more time and resources in some institutions. The present study demonstrates the proposed 'adapted ADAPTE' methodology to support more clarity, simplicity and practicality. It also aims at avoiding duplication within the process and reducing the resources and time allocated to the CPG adaptation projects. METHODS Clinical guidelines' adaptation in the Center for Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines at the Alexandria Faculty of Medicine and University Hospitals involves two stages: (1) cross-sectional or retrospective study to reveal the current practice and prescribing patterns concerning the selected health topic; (2) the 'adapted ADAPTE' methodology for CPGs adaptation that was based on the original ADAPTE Process. RESULTS The 'adapted ADAPTE' included three modified tools, three new tools based on the original ADAPTE framework and alternatives for four ADAPTE steps to enhance utilization. The finalized adapted CPGs included nine high priority topics for paediatrics and two topics for emergency medicine. CONCLUSIONS The ADAPTE methodology for guideline adaptation can be customized or 'adapted' to the local health care setting and resources. This proposal facilitates supports and improves the utilization and update of the ADAPTE process by CPG programmes or activities in health care organizations. This is of particular importance in health care systems in developing countries with limited resources in the Eastern Mediterranean region like Egypt.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common disease in the department of gastroenterology with variable severity, from being mild and self-limited to severe and fatal. The early diagnosis and accurate prediction of AP severity are of great importance. Our primary observation showed that fatty liver (FL) was frequently detected in patients with AP. In this retrospective study, we aimed to evaluate the relation between FL and the severity and outcomes of AP. The medical records of 2671 patients with AP were reviewed retrospectively, and characteristics of AP patients were recorded. FL was assessed by abdominal CT scan, and AP patients were categorized by the occurrence of FL for the analysis. The variation of mortality, clinical severity and the appearance of CT were analyzed between the non-FL group and FL groups. Compared with patients without FL, an obviously higher rate of death and higher frequency of severe AP (SAP) and necrotizing AP (ANP) were observed in patients with FL, as well as the incidence of local complications and systemic complications. Taking obesity into consideration, a higher rate of death and more severe AP were found in patients with FL, no matter whether they were obese or not. Alcoholic fatty liver (AFL) and non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) were also separated for comparison in this study; the incidence of ANP and the clinical severity had no significant difference between the AFL and NAFL groups. In conclusion, FL could influence the severity and clinical outcome and may play a prognostic role in AP. This study is of clinical significance, because few reports have been previously issued on FL and AP.

[PMID: 26422300 DOI: 10.1016/j.pan.2015.09.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2015] [Revised: 08/17/2015] [Accepted: 09/07/2015] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Follow-up computed tomography (CT) in patients with acute pancreatitis has been advocated but rarely studied. The aim of this study was to determine whether follow-up CT for acute pancreatitis might be helpful in establishing the prognosis or complications, and in determining a selected subgroup of patients for whom computed tomography could be beneficial. METHODS Between January 2010 and December 2012, patients with acute pancreatitis who underwent follow-up CT in the outpatient department between one and three months after discharge were retrospectively enrolled. Events discovered on follow-up CT were defined as newly developed or increased pancreatic collection such as pseudocyst or walled off necrosis, and diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. RESULTS Ultimately, 106 asymptomatic patients were enrolled (mean age 50.24 ± 16, 74.5% male, 31.1% moderately severe and severe acute pancreatitis). The median duration of follow-up CT was 69 (31-90) days. On follow-up CT, 23 patients showed events (2 pancreatic cancer, 21 increasing or developed pancreatic collections). In multivariate analysis, the predictive factors for events on follow-up CT were CTSI ≥3 (OR 4.46, CI 1.08-18.43, p = 0.039) and BISAP ≥ 2 (OR 4.83, CI 1.08-21.55, p = 0.039). CONCLUSIONS Follow-up CT within three months after discharge may be helpful for acute pancreatitis patients with CTSI ≥ 3 points or BISAP score ≥ 2 points.

Pancreatology 2015; 15:491-496. [PMID: 26296720 DOI: 10.1016/j.pan.2015.07.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2015] [Revised: 07/29/2015] [Accepted: 07/31/2015] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate whether proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) affect the outcomes of patients with severe acute pancreatitis based on a national administrative database. METHODS A total of 10,400 patients with severe acute pancreatitis were referred to 1021 hospitals between 2010 and 2012 in Japan. Patients were divided into two groups: patients who used PPIs (n = 3879) and those without PPIs (n = 6521). We collected patients' data from the administrative database to compare in-hospital mortality within 7, 14, and 28 days, and overall in-hospital mortality between groups, using propensity score analysis to adjust for treatment selection bias. RESULTS Multiple logistic regression showed that use of PPIs did not affect in-hospital mortality within 7 and 14 days. The odds ratio (OR) for mortality within 7 days was 1.14 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.91-1.42, p = 0.236) while that within 14 days was 1.10 (95% CI: 0.89-1.35, p = 0.349). No significant association was observed for in-hospital mortality within 28 days and overall in-hospital mortality (OR for within 28 days: 1.12, 95% CI: 0.92-1.37, p = 0.224; OR for overall in-hospital mortality: 1.42, 95% CI: 0.97-1.87, p = 0.065). CONCLUSIONS This study shows that use of PPIs does not affect clinical outcomes of patients with severe acute pancreatitis. Prospective or randomized studies are needed to confirm the efficacy of PPIs on outcomes of patients with severe acute pancreatitis in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aetiologies of acute pancreatitis in young adult patients are poorly known. AIMS To prospectively evaluate the causes of acute pancreatitis in patients aged less than 35 years. METHODS Overall, 309 consecutive patients admitted to our centre for acute pancreatitis received first-line investigations, including medical history, standard laboratory tests, abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography. If no aetiology was found, second-line investigations were performed, including endoscopic ultrasound, magnetic-resonance cholangiopancreatography and genetic testing in cases of idiopathic pancreatitis. RESULTS Overall, 66 patients aged between 16 and 35 years were included. After first-line investigations, 49% of cases of acute pancreatitis remained idiopathic. Second-line investigations reduced this rate to 21%. The frequency of aetiologies for acute pancreatitis significantly differed in adults aged ≤ 35 compared to those aged >35 years: biliary aetiology was less frequent (23% versus 43%, p=0.003) as well as alcohol-related (8% versus 24%, p=0.01); drug-induced was more common (16% versus 4%, p=0.0007), as well as cannabis-related (13% versus 1%, p<0.0001), or genetic (10% versus 1.5%, p=0.003). CONCLUSIONS The aetiologies of acute pancreatitis significantly differed in adults aged less than 35 years when compared to older patients. Thus, use of medications, exposure to cannabis, and genetic mutations should be actively sought in these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Though cystic pancreatic neoplasms (CPNs) are being increasingly detected, their evaluation and management are still debated and have lead to publication of multiple guidelines for diagnostic work-up, indications for resection, and non-operative management with follow-up strategies of CPNs. AIMS To analyze available guidelines in order to evaluate their overall quality and clinical applicability, indications for surgical resection and its extent, modalities and timing of follow-up when non-operative management is indicated. METHODS After a systematic search of the English literature, we selected eight guidelines for assessment according to the Appraisal of Guidelines, Research and Evaluation in Europe (AGREE) II instrument. RESULTS One guideline received the lower AGREE score regarding the "scope and purpose", "rigor of development" and "clarity and presentation" domains, whereas one received the best score for "stakeholder involvement" domain. No differences were found among different guidelines regarding the "applicability". The overall quality assessment score showed that only two guidelines were significantly lower than the others. According to the practical utilization recommendation score, four guidelines were considered as having full applicability in clinical practice. CONCLUSION Existing guidelines provide adequate guidance, at least with the present knowledge, for the management of cystic pancreatic lesions; however, not any one was satisfactory to all aspects related to the management of CPN. An update of the existing guidelines should be considered if and when more evidence-based data are available.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Japanese (JPN) guidelines for the management of acute pancreatitis were published in 2006. The severity assessment criteria for acute pancreatitis were later revised by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) in 2008, leading to their publication as the JPN Guidelines 2010. Following the 2012 revision of the Atlanta Classifications of Acute Pancreatitis, in which the classifications of regional complications of pancreatitis were revised, the development of a minimally invasive method for local complications of pancreatitis spread, and emerging evidence was gathered and revised into the JPN Guidelines. METHODS A comprehensive evaluation was carried out on the evidence for epidemiology, diagnosis, severity, treatment, post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis and clinical indicators, based on the concepts of the GRADE system (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation). With the graded recommendations, where the evidence was unclear, Meta-Analysis team for JPN Guidelines 2015 conducted an additional new meta-analysis, the results of which were included in the guidelines. RESULTS Thirty-nine questions were prepared in 17 subject areas, for which 43 recommendations were made. The 17 subject areas were: Diagnosis, Diagnostic imaging, Etiology, Severity assessment, Transfer indication, Fluid therapy, Nasogastric tube, Pain control, Antibiotics prophylaxis, Protease inhibitor, Nutritional support, Intensive care, management of Biliary Pancreatitis, management of Abdominal Compartment Syndrome, Interventions for the local complications, Post-ERCP pancreatitis and Clinical Indicator (Pancreatitis Bundles 2015). Meta-analysis was conducted in the following four subject areas based on randomized controlled trials: (1) prophylactic antibiotics use; (2) prophylactic pancreatic stent placement for the prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis; (3) prophylactic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for the prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis; and (4) peritoneal lavage. Using the results of the meta-analysis, recommendations were graded to create useful information. In addition, a mobile application was developed, which made it possible to diagnose, assess severity and check pancreatitis bundles. CONCLUSIONS The JPN Guidelines 2015 were prepared using the most up-to-date methods, and including the latest recommended medical treatments, and we are confident that this will make them easy for many clinicians to use, and will provide a useful tool in the decision-making process for the treatment of patients, and optimal medical support. The free mobile application and calculator for the JPN Guidelines 2015 is available via http://www.jshbps.jp/en/guideline/jpn-guideline2015.html.

Abstract
Background. No study investigated the efficacy and safety of endoscopic papillary balloon dilation (EPBD) for the treatment of acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP). Method. We retrospectively reviewed the effects of EPBD on patients with ABP from February 2003 to December 2012. The general data, findings of image studies, details of the procedure, and outcomes after EPBD were analyzed. Result. Total 183 patients (male/female: 110/73) were enrolled. The mean age was 65.9 years. Among them, 155 patients had mild pancreatitis. The meantime from admission to EPBD was 3.3 days. Cholangiogram revealed filling defects inside the common bile duct (CBD) in 149 patients. The mean dilating balloon size was 10.5 mm and mean duration of the dilating procedure was 4.3 minutes. Overall, 124 patients had gross stones retrieved from CBD. Four (2.2%) adverse events and 2 (1.1%) intraprocedure bleeding incidents but no procedure-related mortality were noted. Bilirubin and amylase levels significantly decreased after EPBD. On average, patients resumed oral intake within 1.4 days. The clinical parameters and outcomes were similar in patients with different severity of pancreatitis. Conclusion. EPBD can be effective and safe for the treatment of ABP, even in patients presenting with severe disease.

[PMID: 25920892 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinbiochem.2015.04.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2015] [Revised: 04/20/2015] [Accepted: 04/21/2015] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The assessment of acute pancreatitis severity on admission currently remains a challenge to clinicians. A single, rapid biochemical marker would be preferable to clinical and radiological scoring systems. The aim of this study was to undertake a meta-analysis on the value of carboxypeptidase-B activation peptide (CAPAP) in predicting severity of acute pancreatitis on admission. METHODS Major databases and trial registries were searched to identify all relevant studies from January 1998 to March 2015. Pooled sensitivity, specificity and the diagnostic odds ratios (DOR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated for each study and were compared to other biomarkers, if included, within the same study. Summary receiver-operating curves (ROC) were conducted and the area under the curve (AUC) was evaluated. RESULTS In total, six studies were included. At the time of admission, the AUC of serum CAPAP for predicting severity of acute pancreatitis was 0.86 with pooled sensitivity, specificity and DOR of 0.90, 0.70 and 19.08, respectively. When serum CAPAP was compared with urinary CAPAP, the AUC, pooled sensitivity, specificity and DOR were 0.69 vs 0.88, 0.90 vs 0.81, 0.68 vs. 0.77 and 17.96 vs. 18.58, respectively. Similarly, the AUC, pooled sensitivity, specificity and DOR of serum CAPAP vs maximal serum C-reactive protein within the first 3 days of admission were found to be 0.97 vs. 0.82, 0.92 vs. 0.88, 0.81 vs 0.68 and 37.90 vs. 18.80, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Both serum and urinary CAPAP have the potential to act as a stratification marker on admission in predicting severity of acute pancreatitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present retrospective study aimed to analyze the optimal time to initiate enteral nutrition (EN) in patients with severe acute pancreatitis at a single Chinese institution (China Medical University Hospital). METHODS A total of 1196 patients with severe acute pancreatitis were admitted in the intensive care unit between November 2003 and June 2013; 1092 patients were selected and were divided into the early and delayed EN groups, according to their initial timing of EN. RESULTS Five hundred sixty-six patients were administered with the delayed EN, and 526 with the early EN. Both groups had similar severity of pancreatic necrosis, but organ failure developed in 81% patients of the delayed EN group and 21% in the early EN group (P < 0.01). The numbers of septic necrosis and morbidity were significantly higher in the delayed EN group than in the early EN (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The early EN had significant benefits over the delayed EN in the decrease of organ failure and mortality; our findings suggested that the first 48 hours of administration in the intensive care unit was the optimal time to start EN.

PGC-1α expression is increased in leukocytes in experimental acute pancreatitis. Inflammation 2015; 37:1231-9.

Abstract
Severe acute pancreatitis (AP) induces a systemic inflammatory disease that is responsible for high mortality rates, particularly when it is complicated by infection. Therefore, differentiating sepsis from the systemic inflammation caused by AP is a serious clinical challenge. Considering the high metabolic rates of leukocytes in response to stress induced by infection, we hypothesized that the transcription coactivator peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 (PGC-1α), a master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis and function, would be distinctly expressed during inflammation or infection and, therefore, could constitute a useful marker to differentiate between these two conditions. Rats were subjected to injection of taurocholate into the main pancreatic duct, which caused a severe AP with high amylase levels and white blood cell counts. In these animals, a marked increase in PGC-1α mRNA levels in circulating leukocytes was observed 48 h after the surgical procedure, a time when bacteremia is present. Antibiotic treatment abolished PGC-1α up-regulation. Moreover, PGC-1α expression was higher in peritoneal macrophages from animals subjected to a bacterial insult (cecal ligation and puncture) than in animals with AP. In isolated macrophages, we also observed that PGC-1α expression is more prominent in the presence of a phagocytic stimulus (zymosan) when compared to lipopolysaccharide-induced aseptic inflammation. Moreover, abolishing PGC-1α expression with antisense oligos impaired zymosan phagocytosis. Together, these findings suggest that PGC-1α is differentially expressed during aseptic inflammation and infection and that it is necessary for adequate phagocytosis. These results could be useful in developing new tests for differentiating infection from inflammation for clinical purposes in patients with AP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). METHODS Altogether 101 patients were admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology, Changhai Hospital, Second Medical Military Hospital from July 2006 to June 2010 due to SAP. Their prevalence and risk factors of UGIB were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS In total, 18 (17.8%) patients developed UGIB and 13 received endoscopic examination, which yielded six cases of acute gastric mucosal lesions (AGML), five of peptic ulcers (PU) and two of pancreatic necrotic tissue invading the duodenal bulb and presenting as multilesion, honeycomb-like ulcer. The mortality rate of UGIB patients was much higher than that of non-UGIB patients (44.4% vs 10.8%, P = 0.0021). Univariate analysis revealed that the risk factors for UGIB included the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score, computed tomography severity index (CTSI), Ranson score, arterial blood pH and PaO2 , serum blood urea nitrogen and creatinine concentrations, platelet count, shock, sepsis and organ failure, mechanical ventilation, heparinized continuous renal replacement therapy and total parenteral nutrition. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that APACHE II score and CTSI were significant risk factors while PaO2 was the protective factor for UGIB in SAP. CONCLUSIONS UGIB is a common complication with poor prognosis due mainly to PU and AGML. Patients having SAP with high APACHE II scores and CTSI or low PaO2 should be considered to be at high risk for UGIB.

Clin Res Hepatol Gastroenterol 2014; 38:770-6. [PMID: 25153999 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinre.2014.06.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2013] [Revised: 03/22/2014] [Accepted: 06/13/2014] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
Surgical necrosectomy, but is still associated with a high morbidity. Indications of the endoscopic route, a new less invasive technique are not defined yet. To compare characteristics and clinical outcome of patients treated by the two techniques, a bi-centric retrospective comparison of 21 patients treated by surgical necrosectomy in one center (group S) with 11 patients treated in another center by endoscopic transgastric necrosectomy (group E) was performed. Clinical severity scores were significantly higher in group S although CT severity score did not differ between groups. Acute postoperative complications including pancreatic fistula occurred more frequently in group S (86% vs. 27%, P=0.002). ICU and hospital length of stay were higher in group S (84 vs. 4 days; P=0.008 and 58 vs. 15 days; P=0.005 respectively). Long-term complication did not differ between groups. Compared to surgery, endoscopic necrosectomy exhibited lower rate of complications and reduced hospital length of stays. Endoscopic transgastric necrosectomy appears as a safe and effective procedure and has to be included in the therapeutic algorithm of infected pancreatic necrosis.

High plasma levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-22 and the anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 and IL-1ra in acute pancreatitis. Pancreatology 2014; 14:465-9. [PMID: 25240697 DOI: 10.1016/j.pan.2014.08.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2014] [Revised: 07/25/2014] [Accepted: 08/15/2014] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Pancreatic acinar cells are major targets of IL-22. Our aim is to study early plasma levels of IL-22, of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in acute pancreatitis, and their association with severity or necrosis infection. METHODS Consecutive patients admitted to the Department of Hepato-Gastroenterology at Poitiers University of Medicine Hospital (France) with a diagnosis of AP were prospectively enrolled. Plasma concentrations of IL-22, IL-6, IL-8, IL-1 α, IL-1β, TNF- α, IFN-γ, IL-17A, IL-10, IL-1ra and IL-4 were assessed by multiple immunoassay at the admission time. A thoracoabdominal contrast-enhanced CT scan was performed at day 2. RESULTS Sixty-two patients were included; 13 patients (21%) had a severe acute pancreatitis, 5 patients (8%) developed necrosis infection and 29 patients (47%) had pleural effusion. Plasma levels of IL-22 were high in AP (135 ± 31 vs 4.2 ± 1.8 pg/ml for controls, p < 0.05), but did not correlate with the severity of the disease, whereas IL-6, IL-10 and IL-1ra where enhanced in patients with severe acute pancreatitis and with pleural effusion. Patients who further developed necrosis infection had higher levels of IL-1ra at admission (p = 0.0004). CONCLUSION In acute pancreatitis, high plasma levels of IL-22 are observed, regardless the severity of the disease. In contrast, severe forms were associated with increased levels of IL-6, IL-10 and IL-1ra. The beneficial or deleterious role of IL-22 in AP remains to be further studied.

Abstract
Dealing with acute pancreatitis in pregnancy is a challenging problem. Even in the presence of reassuring NST and biophysical profile assessment, an unpredictable fetal loss can occur during the medical management of the pregnancies complicated with mild acute pancreatitis. Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a potentially life threatening inflammatory condition of the pancreas with a high mortality and morbidity rates. We report a complicated case of mild acute pancreatitis induced by gallbladder sludge in a pregnant woman whose pregnancy ended up with unexpected fetal demise at 34 weeks of her gestation.
INTRODUCTION Dealing with acute pancreatitis in pregnancy is a challenging problem due to unexpected nature of the disease. PRESENTATION OF CASE We report a complicated case of a 29-year-old pregnant woman with a mild acute pancreatitis whose pregnancy ended up with an unexpected fetal demise at her 34th gestational week. This unfortunate outcome led us reconsider our obstetrical approach to acute pancreatitis during pregnancy. CONCLUSION Based on this unfortunate event, we now think that obstetricians should keep in mind that even in the presence of reassuring NST and biophysical profile assessment, an unpredictable fetal loss can occur during the medical management of the pregnancies complicated with mild acute pancreatitis. DISCUSSION The subject patient of this case report was diagnosed with mild AP and underwent conservative medical management. Since the patient was stable and fetal well-being was confirmed with BPP and NST, the termination of pregnancy was out of question at that time. The occurrence of unexpected fetal death despite assuring parameters led us reconsider the approach to the pregnant women with mild AP.

Are there preoperative factors related to a "soft pancreas" and are they predictive of pancreatic fistulas after pancreatic resection? Surg Today 2014; 45:708-14. [PMID: 25331230 DOI: 10.1007/s00595-014-1045-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2014] [Accepted: 05/14/2014] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Soft pancreatic parenchyma is the most widely recognized risk factor for pancreatic fistula. We conducted this study to clarify if there are preoperative factors related to a soft pancreatic remnant and to establish if they are useful for predicting pancreatic fistula. METHODS This was a retrospective study of patients who underwent pancreatic resections at the Department of Surgical Sciences of the S. Orsola-Malpighi Hospital, Bologna, Italy. The factors considered were sex, age, co-morbidities, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, characteristics of the pancreatic remnant, and preoperative diagnosis. RESULTS Data from 208 patients were recorded. The risk factors predictive of a soft pancreatic remnant were BMI >24 kg/m(2) (P = 0.011), a Wirsung duct size ≤3 mm (P < 0.001), and coexisting periampullary diseases (P < 0.001). Using these factors, we developed a risk score model that was validated by considering the pancreatic fistula rate. The overall and clinically relevant pancreatic fistula rate increased with increasing score values (P = 0.002 and P = 0.028, respectively). Using a score cut-off value of six points, patients with a score ≥6 were considered to be at high risk. CONCLUSIONS Body mass index >24 kg/m(2), a Wirsung duct size <3 mm, and preoperative diagnosis represented the preoperative factors related to a soft pancreas. These factors proved useful in the building of a risk score model to predict the incidence of pancreatic fistula.
