TLDR
There is a wide spectrum of disease from mild (80%), where patients recover within a few days, to severe (20%) with prolonged hospital stay, the need for critical care support, and a 15-20% risk of death.Abstract:
Acute pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas; it is sometimes associated with a systemic inflammatory response that can impair the function of other organs or systems. The inflammation may settle spontaneously or may progress to necrosis of the pancreas or surrounding fatty tissue. The distant organ or system dysfunction may resolve or may progress to organ failure. Thus there is a wide spectrum of disease from mild (80%), where patients recover within a few days, to severe (20%) with prolonged hospital stay, the need for critical care support, and a 15-20% risk of death. If patients have organ failure during the first week in hospital, it is usually already present on the first day in hospital. This early organ failure may resolve in response to treatment. The diagnosis of severe acute pancreatitis depends on the presence of persistent organ failure (>48 hours) either during the first week or at a later stage, and also on the presence of local complications (usually apparent after the first week).read more

TL;DR: Research since 2010 confirms the importance of alcohol use as a risk factor for disease and injuries; for some health outcomes, more than one dimension of use needs to be considered.

TL;DR: This international, web-based consensus provides clear definitions to classify acute pancreatitis using easily identified clinical and radiologic criteria and should encourage widespread adoption.

American College of Gastroenterology guideline: management of acute pancreatitis.
TL;DR: As the diagnosis of AP is most often established by clinical symptoms and laboratory testing, contrast-enhanced computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging of the pancreas should be reserved for patients in whom the diagnosis is unclear or who fail to improve clinically.

Acute pancreatitis: value of CT in establishing prognosis.
TL;DR: A CT severity index, based on a combination of peripancreatic inflammation, phlegmon, and degree of pancreatic necrosis as seen at initial CT study, was developed and showed clear trends in patients who initially had or developed more than 30% necrosis.

Persistent organ failure during the first week as a marker of fatal outcome in acute pancreatitis
TL;DR: Investigating duration of organ failure during the first week of predicted severe acute pancreatitis is strongly associated with the risk of death or local complications, and resolution of organs failure within 48 hours suggests a good prognosis.
