Peter A. Banks,Thomas L. Bollen,Christos Dervenis,Hein G. Gooszen,Colin D. Johnson,Michael G. Sarr,Gregory G. Tsiotos,Santhi Swaroop Vege +7 more
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.

Organ failure and infection of pancreatic necrosis as determinants of mortality in patients with acute pancreatitis.
Maxim S. Petrov,Satyanarayan T. Shanbhag,Mandira Chakraborty,Anthony R. J. Phillips,John A. Windsor +4 more
TL;DR: In patients with acute pancreatitis, the absolute influence of OF and IPN on mortality is comparable and thus the presence of either indicates severe disease and the relative risk of mortality doubles when of both are both present.

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.

Peter B. Cotton,Glen A. Lehman,J. Vennes,J.E. Geenen,R.C.G. Russell,William C. Meyers,C. Liguory,N. Nickl +7 more
TL;DR: This document is an attempt to provide guidelines for prevention and management of complications, based on a workshop of selected experts, and a comprehensive review of the literature, that emphasize the importance of specialist training, disinfection, drainage, and collaboration with surgical colleagues.

Martin L. Freeman,Douglas B. Nelson,Stuart Sherman,Haber Gb,Herman Me,P. J. Dorsher,J. P. Moore,Fennerty Mb,Michael E. Ryan,Michael J Shaw,Lande Jd,A. M. Pheley +11 more
TL;DR: The rate of complications after endoscopic biliary sphincterotomy can vary widely in different circumstances and is primarily related to the indication for the procedure and to endoscopic technique, rather than to the age or general medical condition of the patients.

Alison Avenell,John Broom,Tamara Brown,Amudha Poobalan,Lorna Aucott,Sally C. Stearns,William Cairns Stewart Smith,R. T. Jung,Marion K Campbell,A. M. Grant +9 more
TL;DR: The drugs orlistat and sibutramine appear beneficial for the treatment of adults with obesity, and metformin for obese patients with type 2 diabetes, and exercise and/or behaviour therapy appear to improve weight loss when added to diet.
