Epidemiology, aetiology and outcome of acute and chronic pancreatitis: An update.
TLDR
Although the case-fatality rate of acute pancreatitis decreased over time, the overall population mortality did not change for both acute and chronic pancreatitis.Abstract:
Over the past decades several epidemiological studies have been published reporting on incidence trends, hospital admissions, etiological factors and outcome of both acute and chronic pancreatitis. Over time, the incidence of acute pancreatitis has increased in the Western countries. Also, the number of hospital admissions for both acute and chronic pancreatitis have increased. These upward time trends possibly reflect a change in the prevalence of main etiological factors (e.g. gallstones and alcohol consumption) and cofactors such as obesity and genetic susceptibility. Acute and chronic pancreatitis are associated with significant morbidity and mortality and a substantial use of health care resources. Although the case-fatality rate of acute pancreatitis decreased over time, the overall population mortality did not change for both acute and chronic pancreatitis. This chapter will focus on recent developments in the epidemiology, aetiology, natural course and outcome of both acute and chronic pancreatitis.read more

TL;DR: The aetiology of acute pancreatitis is complex, and many risk factors for AP are shared by patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but few have assessed risk Factors for AP specifically in T2DM patients.

A Clinically Based Classification System for Acute Pancreatitis: Summary of the International Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis, Atlanta, Ga, September 11 Through 13, 1992
TL;DR: In the absence of accepted definitions for acute pancreatitis and its complications, it has not been possible to devise a clinical classification system useful for case management as discussed by the authors, which is why a group of 40 international authorities from six medical disciplines and 15 countries participated in a three-day meeting and open discussion.
