PUERTO H, Leidy Juliana et al. Outcomes of Three Years of Experience Managing Acute Pancreatitis at a Fourth Level Hospital in Huila, Colombia. Rev Col Gastroenterol [online]. 2019, vol.34, n.1, pp.10-16. ISSN 0120-9957.  https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.243.

Objective:

Our objective was to describe the clinical and surgical behavior of patients with acute pancreatitis managed at a fourth level hospital center.

Method:

This is a descriptive, retrospective and analytical study of patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis who entered the University Hospital of Neiva in the period from January 1, 2015 to July 31, 2017.

Results:

We identified 138 patients who had been admitted with a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. Of these, the diagnosis was confirmed for 130 patients, but 21 patients were excluded because they did not meet the inclusion criteria. According to the 2012 Atlanta classification, 73 (67%) patients had mild pancreatitis, 17 (16%) had moderately severe pancreatitis, and 19 (17%) had severe pancreatitis. The main cause of pancreatitis was biliary. The chi-square test showed statistical significance for age as a risk factor for severe pancreatitis (p = 0.04). Pancreatic necrosis was documented in 8 patients, five of whom were managed surgically. This included three laparotomies and two laparoscopic operations. The mortality rate for patients with surgically managed pancreatic necrosis was 37.5%. Of the 109 patients included in the study, the resolved their pancreatitis of 100 patients (91.74%) was resolved and they left the institution alive. Nine patients (8.25%), all of whom had severe acute pancreatitis, died.

Conclusion:

This descriptive study established the demographic characteristics and clinical course of patients with acute pancreatitis including complications and management of complications. This study is not intended to standardize causality or management of acute pancreatitis, but rather only describes the experience of a fourth level hospital in order to contribute to the development of cohort studies and clinical trials that will allow establishment of management guidelines to improve the outcomes of patients with acute pancreatitis.
