Article Synopsis
  • There is a lack of discharge protocols for acute pancreatitis (AP) patients, which the Hungarian Pancreatic Study Group (HPSG) aims to address with a new, validated protocol based on laboratory data and symptoms.
  • An international survey revealed that 87.5% of participating medical centers do not have discharge protocols, but those that do see shorter hospital stays and lower readmission rates.
  • The HPSG discharge protocol resulted in the lowest average length of hospital stay and demonstrated safety through a low readmission rate, highlighting the need for developing and validating more standardized discharge protocols for AP care.

Article Synopsis
  • Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a serious inflammation of the pancreas, and identifying patients at high risk of severe complications early is essential to prevent organ failure and death.
  • The study developed a machine learning prediction model called EASY, using data from over 4,700 patients to offer quick assessments of severity through algorithms like XGBoost, achieving an average accuracy of 89.1%.
  • The model identifies key risk factors such as respiratory rate, body temperature, and glucose level, and includes a user-friendly web application for easy access to its predictions.

Article Synopsis
  • The rising incidence of acute pancreatitis (AP) has led to increased medical costs and a concerning 30% mortality rate in severe cases.
  • A study involving 2461 patients revealed that hypoalbuminemia (low albumin levels) is common in AP, affecting 19% on admission and 35.7% during hospitalization.
  • Severe hypoalbuminemia significantly increases the risk of complications and mortality, with a clear dose-dependent relationship to severity and hospital stay.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a life-threatening disease. We aimed to explore the prognostic relevance of renal function based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). A prospective registry of AP patients was established by the Hungarian Pancreatic Study Group.

Background: Hypertriglyceridemia is the third most common cause of acute pancreatitis (AP). It has been shown that hypertriglyceridemia aggravates the severity and related complications of AP; however, detailed analyses of large cohorts are contradictory. Our aim was to investigate the dose-dependent effect of hypertriglyceridemia on AP.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers examined the effectiveness of C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cell count (WBC) in assessing acute pancreatitis (AP) through a review of existing studies and data analysis of 1435 patient episodes.
  • The study found that CRP levels were not reliable indicators of mortality or severity in AP cases, with low accuracy in predictions regardless of when the levels were measured.
  • However, using CRP levels within the first 24 hours after pain onset as a criterion for including patients in clinical trials significantly increased the rates of severe cases and mortality, thus potentially simplifying the patient selection process for trials.

Background: Malignant potential of small (≤20 mm) nonfunctional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (sNF-PNET) is difficult to predict and management remain controversial. The aim of this study was to assess the prognosis of sporadic nonmetastatic sNF-PNETs.

Methods: Patients were identified from databases of 16 centers.

Background: Non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PNET) are rare neoplasms being increasingly diagnosed. Surgical treatment or expectant management are both suggested for small NF-PNETs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of surveillance strategy for small NF-PNETs.
