Evaluation of a Predictive Model and Clinical Outcomes in Mild Acute Pancreatitis: Towards Evidence-Based Early Discharge.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Given that the care for mild acute pancreatitis (AP) patients is often supportive, these patients may, due to the current strain on hospital care, be eligible for early hospital discharge. However, timely identification of this population and information about their clinical course is needed. This study aims to identify a reliable method for predicting a mild course at 24 and 48 h after hospitalization and to assess clinical outcomes to optimize future early discharge strategies.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study included consecutive AP patients admitted to a large teaching hospital in the Netherlands from January 2014 to September 2024, with 90-days follow-up. AP course was predicted using four methods involving C-reactive Protein (CRP) and Systemic Inflamm
