Article Synopsis
- * An analysis was conducted on 743 patients with culture-confirmed IPN, revealing a 20.9% mortality rate, with early infection (within the first 4 weeks) significantly linked to higher mortality rates.
- * Results indicate that both early infection and early open surgery are strong predictors of increased mortality, while other surgical methods showed no significant impact on death rates.
Background: There are few large prospective cohort studies evaluating predictors of outcomes in acute pancreatitis.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the role of age and co-morbid disease in predicting major outcomes in acute pancreatitis.
Methods: Data points were collected according to a predefined electronic data collection form.
Liraglutide is a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analog. GLP-1 analogues are used as a second option treatment for type 2 diabetes and weight management in obese patients. Data in the literature suggests an association between GLP-1 agonist use and acute pancreatitis (AP).

Objective: The objective of this article was to compare the effect of lactated Ringer's solution (LR) vs normal saline (NS) in the inflammatory response in AP.
Methods: We conducted a triple-blind, randomized, controlled trial.
Aims: Early aggressive fluid resuscitation in acute pancreatitis is frequently recommended but its benefits remain unproven. The aim of this study was to determine the outcomes associated with early fluid volume administration in the emergency room (FVER) in patients with acute pancreatitis.
Methods: A four-center retrospective cohort study of 1010 patients with acute pancreatitis was conducted.
Background: Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory disorder of the pancreas that is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality. The inflammasome pathway has acquired significant relevance in the pathogenesis of many inflammatory disorders, but its role in patients with acute pancreatitis still awaits clarification.
Methods: We performed a prospective study in which 27 patients with acute pancreatitis and 16 healthy controls were included.
Background And Aim: Intermediate-risk patients following a colorectal cancer screening program may have differential risk of advanced lesions depending on the findings of an index colonoscopy. The aim of the present study was to comparatively assess advanced colorectal neoplasia risk at the first follow-up colonoscopy among the different intermediate-risk subgroups with a focus on patients with three to four adenomas.
Methods: All patients recruited for a baseline screening colonoscopy between 2006 and 2011 were included.
Objectives: The primary aim of this retrospective study was to externally validate predictors of increased fluid sequestration at 48 hours (FS⁴⁸) in acute pancreatitis (AP).
Methods: Patients admitted between January 10 and February 13 with a diagnosis of AP were evaluated. The FS⁴⁸ was calculated as difference between total fluid input and output in the first 48 hours.
