    This study found that acute pancreatitis (AP) management in Argentina is optimal and aligns with American College of Gastroenterology guidelines. Treatment across 23 centers demonstrated high compliance, ensuring effective patient care nationwide.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Clinical Medicine
    • Health Services Research

    Background:

    • Multicenter studies on acute pancreatitis (AP) management are lacking in Argentina.
    • Evaluating current AP treatment protocols against established guidelines is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the nationwide management of acute pancreatitis patients in Argentina.
    • To determine the adherence of Argentine healthcare centers to the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) guidelines for AP.

    Main Methods:

    • A prospective study involving 23 participating centers nationwide.
    • Data collected online for consecutive acute pancreatitis patients from June 2010 to June 2013.
    • Analysis of patient demographics, causes, severity, complications, diagnostic procedures, and adherence to ACG recommendations.

    Main Results:

    • 854 patients were included; the most common cause was biliary AP (88.2%).
    • Prognostic systems were used in 99% of cases, with Ranson being the most frequent (74.5%).
    • Overall mortality was 1.5%, with no significant difference based on center characteristics. Compliance with ACG key recommendations exceeded 80%.

    Conclusions:

    • The diagnosis and treatment of acute pancreatitis in the studied Argentine health centers were found to be optimal.
    • Management protocols largely complied with the recommendations outlined in the American College of Gastroenterology Guide.
