Hospitalization Outcomes of Acute Pancreatitis in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute pancreatitis (AP) carries a significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. AP is a potential complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) although its incidence remains unclear. HSCT recipients are at increased risk of AP due to various factors but the effect of AP on mortality and resource utilization in the adult population has not been studied. We investigated the impact of AP on hospitalization outcomes among patients following HSCT.

Methods

We queried the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 codes. All adult patients with a diagnosis or procedure code of HSCT were included in the study. Patients were divided into those with a diagnosis of AP and those without. Sensitivity
