A systematic review of the predictive factors for the recurrence of acute pancreatitis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Acute Pancreatitis (AP) is a prevalent clinical pancreatic disorder characterized by acute inflammation of the pancreas, frequently associated with biliary or alcoholic events. If not treated with cholecystectomy after the first episode, patients may experience a recurrence of AP, with consequent need for emergency surgery and increased risk of death. Analyzing the risk factors that may contribute to the recurrence of Biliary and Alcoholic Pancreatitis (BAP and AAP), future research can be driven toward new solutions for preventing and treating this pancreatic disease.

Methods

A systematic review was conducted selecting studies from BiomedCentral, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science by two independent reviewers. Publications were considered only if written in English i
