Introduction: acute pancreatitis is a disease that causes varying degrees of inflammation in the body and can reach to glandular necrosis.Objective: to characterize the clinical and surgical behavior in patients with acute pancreatitis at Abel Santamaria Cuadrado University Hospital in Pinar del Rio province during the period 2009-2012.
Materials and methods: an observational, descriptive, longitudinal and retrospective study was conducted in patients with acute pancreatitis admitted to Abel Santamaría Cuadrado University Hospital in Pinar del Rio, between 2009 and 2012.
Results: 53.3% of patients were admitted to the surgery department and the rest in the ICU. The 77.8% of patients underwent surgery before 48 hours from admission. There was a marked predominance of patients suffering from complications admitted in the surgical wards, acute or systemic complications prevailed. In patients undergoing surgeries the mortality rate increased considerably to 42.1%.
Conclusions: to carry out an appropriate behavior in patients admitted with acute pancreatitis and in order to reduce complications and death rate for this cause, patients must be admitted to the ICU from the first moment of the admission; along with the increase of investigations such as abdominal CT to lower surgical cases.
