Unlabelled:
The acute pancreatitis is a relative common disease with incidence of 5-80 per 100000 people of the population. The number of new cases has steadily increased in recent years. The two main etiological factors are alcohol and cholelithiasis. The incidence of alcoholic pancreatitis is higher in male, and the incidence of gallstone pancreatitis is higher in female.
Aim:
To summarize the difference between the clinical course of biliary and not biliary type of severe acute pancreatitis by analyzing the data of these patients.
Methods:
139 patients treated with severe acute pancreatitis were divided in two groups: biliary (A group) and non biliary (B group) of origin. The two groups were compared on the basis of sex and age, mortality, morbidity, number of surgery and hospital stay. chi 2 probe was used for the statistical analysis.
Results:
The complications in biliary group were more serious. The average mortality rate was 15.1%, 17.8% in group A and 13.8% in group B. The mortality rate of female patients in group A was significantly higher.
Conclusion:
Female patients suffering from severe biliary acute pancreatitis have higher morbidity and mortality rate. Therefore an elective cholecystectomy is suggested in old female patients with serious co-morbidity and gallstones, before any complications.

Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.

01:24Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...
