Abstract
Previous studies showed a potential anti-inflammatory effect of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) as well as possible inhibition of pancreatic secretion. This presents the question of their possible use in acute pancreatitis (AP). Current clinical evidence does not address the role of PPI and the present review for possible therapeutic use and safety is lacking. Therefore, our study aims to address the role of PPI in the management of AP and their association with the different outcomes of AP. We queried the Diamond Network through TriNetX-Research Network. This network included 92 healthcare organizations. Patients with mild AP with Bedside Index of Severity in Acute Pancreatitis (BISAP) score of Zero regardless of etiology were divided into 2 cohorts; 1st cohort included patients on PPI, and 2nd cohort included patients not on any PPI. Patients with BISAP score equal to or more than 1 or on PPI prior to the study date were excluded. Two well-matched cohorts were created using 1:1 propensity-scored matching model between cohorts. We compared the incidence of intensive care unit admission, mortality, and other associated complications. A total of 431,571 patients met the inclusion criteria. Of those, 32.9% (n = 142,062) were on PPI, and 67% (n = 289,509) were not on any PPI. After propensity matching, the sample included 115,630 patients on PPI vs 115,630 patients not on PPI. The PPI group had a lower rate of mortality (3.7% vs 4.4%, P < .001), a lower rate of intensive care unit admission (3.9% vs 5.5%, P < .001), a lower rate of necrotizing pancreatitis (1.1% vs 1.9%, P < .001), a lower rate of Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia (3.6% vs 4.9%, P < .001), a lower rate of respiratory failure (2.8% vs 4.2%, P < .001), and a lower rate of acute kidney injury (6.9% vs 10.1%, P < .001). There was no statistical difference in the rate of Clostridium difficile infection between the 2 cohorts (0.9% vs 0.8%, P = .5). The use of PPI in mild AP with a BISAP-score of zero is associated with reduced pancreatitis-related complications and improved mortality. Prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Albumin infusion may decrease the mortality of hypoalbuminemia patients with severe acute pancreatitis: a retrospective cohort study. BMC Gastroenterol 2023; 23:195. [PMID: 37277756 DOI: 10.1186/s12876-023-02801-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2022] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND At present, the relationship between severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and albumin infusion is not clear. We aimed to identify the impact of serum albumin on the prognosis of SAP and the association between albumin infusions and mortality for hypoalbuminemia patients. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study that analyzed 1000 patients with SAP who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University between January 2010 and December 2021 using data from a prospectively maintained database. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to reveal the relationship between serum albumin within 1 week after admission and poor prognosis of SAP. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was adopted to evaluate the effect of albumin infusion for hypoalbuminemia patients with SAP. RESULTS The prevalence of hypoalbuminemia (≤ 30 g/L) was 56.9% within 1 week after admission. Multivariate logistic regression identified that age (OR: 1.02; 95% CI: 1.00-1.04; P = 0.012), serum urea (OR: 1.08; 95% CI: 1.04-1.12; P < 0.001), serum calcium (OR: 0.27; 95% CI: 0.14-0.50; P < 0.001), lowest albumin level within 1 week after admission (OR: 0.93; 95% CI: 0.89-0.97; P = 0.002), and APACHE II score ≥ 15 (OR: 1.73; 95% CI: 1.19-2.51; P = 0.004) were independently associated with mortality. The PSM analysis demonstrated that mortality (OR: 0.52, 95% CI: 0.29-0.92, P = 0.023) was less common in albumin-infused than non-albumin-infused hypoalbuminemia patients. In subgroup analyses, doses > 100 g within 1 week after admission for hypoalbuminemia patients with albumin infusions was associated with lower mortality than doses ≤ 100 g (OR: 0.51, 95% CI: 0.28-0.90, P = 0.020). CONCLUSIONS Hypoalbuminemia in early-stage SAP is significantly related to poor prognosis. However, albumin infusions could significantly decrease mortality in hypoalbuminemia patients with SAP. Additionally, infusing sufficient albumin within a week after admission may decrease mortality in hypoalbuminemia patients.

Sci Rep 2023; 13:2791. [PMID: 36797320 PMCID: PMC9935541 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-29939-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2022] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Although current guidelines do not recommend the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in the standard of care of acute pancreatitis (AP), they are often prescribed in clinical practice, mainly for ulcer stress prophylaxis. In this systematic review and meta-analysis we evaluated the association between the use of PPIs in the management of AP and various clinical outcomes. We conducted the systematic research in six databases without restrictions on January 24th, 2022. We investigated adult patient with AP, who were treated with PPI compared to conventional therapy. The pooled odds ratios, mean differences, and corresponding 95% confidence intervals were calculated with random effect model. We included six RCTs and three cohort studies, consisting of 28,834 patients. We found a significant decrease in the rate of pancreatic pseudocyst formation in patients who received PPI treatment. PPI use was associated with a higher risk of GI bleeding, however this finding could be due to the patients' comorbid conditions. We found no significant difference in the rates of 7-day mortality, length of hospital stay, and acute respiratory distress syndrome between the groups. The available data on this topic are limited; therefore, further well designed RCTs are needed to evaluate the potential benefits and adverse effects of PPIs in AP.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP), a complex inflammatory disease of the pancreas, is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Currently, no specific therapies are approved for its treatment, and management is primarily based on supportive care. Despite enhanced understanding of AP pathogenesis, patients remain at significant risk owing to a lack of targeted drug treatments. Therefore, there is an urgent need for effective pharmacological therapeutic measures which may inhibit the early systemic inflammation, thereby preventing subsequent organ failure. This narrative review summarizes the available treatment options for AP and highlights the potential drug classes and pharmacologic therapies including those under clinical development. Although, several therapies targeting different aspects of AP pathogenesis have been investigated, some therapies with promising preclinical activity have been rendered ineffective in clinical trials. Other novel drug classes or molecules including dabigatran (anticoagulant), ulinastatin (protease inhibitor), infliximab (monoclonal antibody), spautin-A41 (autophagy inhibitor), and CM4620-Injectible Emulsion (calcium channel inhibitor) await further clinical assessment. Alternative treatment options using stem cells and nanoparticles are also being explored and may hold promise for AP therapy. However, challenges for exploring targeted treatment approaches include disease complexity, timing of therapeutic intervention, and establishing appropriate clinical endpoints. Understanding the role of specific biomarkers may help in identifying appropriate targets for drug discovery and facilitate determining relevant clinical study endpoints to monitor disease severity and progression, thereby aiding in design of more precise therapies with improved clinical outcomes.
