Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the trend of alcohol-related acute pancreatitis (AP) admissions during the initial COVID-19 lockdown in the UK, noting a notable rise in first-time admissions in 2020 compared to previous years.
- The highest total admissions occurred during March-May 2020, coinciding with increased alcohol consumption as restrictions took effect, while admissions declined by 38.89% once restrictions eased.
- Despite the surge in admissions during the lockdown, the median length of hospital stay remained consistent across the years studied, indicating no change in severity or duration of care for patients.
