Article Synopsis
  • Acute pancreatitis (AP) can lead to an increased risk of diabetes (DM) in young individuals, prompting a study to identify predictors of prediabetes (preDM) or DM after AP episodes.
  • A cohort of patients aged 21 and under was monitored for 3 and 12 months after an initial AP admission, assessing various clinical, laboratory, and imaging factors against the development of preDM/DM.
  • Key findings indicated that severe AP, higher levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP), along with certain imaging markers and patient age, were significant predictors for the onset of preDM/DM in this population.

Background & Aims: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is increasingly recognized as a risk factor for diabetes mellitus (DM). We aimed to study the association of pancreatitis genes with pancreatic endocrine insufficiency (pre-DM and DM) development post-AP in children.

Methods: This was an observational cohort study that enrolled subjects ≤21 years with their first episode of AP and followed them for 12 months for the development of pancreatic endocrine insufficiency.

Background: Trial of labor after cesarean delivery (TOLAC) in twin gestations has been associated with decreased rates of successful vaginal delivery compared to singleton pregnancies, with mixed results regarding maternal and neonatal morbidity. However, induction of labor (IOL) in this unique population has not yet been fully evaluated.

Objective: To assess success rates and maternal and neonatal outcomes in women with a twin gestation and a previous cesarean delivery undergoing IOL.
