Journal of Critical Care Jun 10, 2019
Husu HL, et al. - Researchers performed this retrospective 17-years' cohort study to determine mortality as well as risk factors for mortality among consecutive adult patients (n=435) who received treatment for severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) at intensive care unit of a university hospital. Ninety-day follow-up revealed the survival of 357 (82.1%) patients. For mortality within 90-days, 60 to 69 years of age, >69 years of age, female sex, heart disease, chronic liver failure, open abdomen treatment and sterile necrosectomy within 4 weeks were identified as independent risk factors. In patients under 60 years and in those over 60 years, the estimated 10-year survival was <70% and <30%, respectively. In this study, short-term survival following SAP was excellent among younger patients, however, the long-term survival estimate was disappointing often because of alcohol abuse.
