Acute Pancreatitis in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Results from the European Pandora Study.

ABSTRACT: Background and aims: An increased risk of acute pancreatitis (AP) has been reported in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but data on its prevalence, etiology, and outcomes are limited. Materials and Methods: A two-step retrospective analysis spanning 10 years (2011-2020) was conducted across 34 European centers. The first step surveyed the prevalence of AP in patients with IBD, while the second gathered data on disease characteristics, etiology, and outcomes. Results: The survey found an expected AP prevalence of 1.13% (780/68,989), though only 0.58% (n = 398) met the inclusion criteria. The mean age was 33.6 ± 14.3; 52% were female, and 56.5% had Crohn's disease (CD). AP was clinically mild in most cases (86.9%). Among 347 patients with available imaging
