    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Clinical Research
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • No prior nationwide multicenter studies assessed acute pancreatitis (AP) management in Argentina.
    • Understanding current AP treatment practices is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

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

    Main Methods:

    • A multicenter study involving 23 healthcare centers across Argentina.
    • Online database collection of consecutive AP patients from June 2010 to June 2013.

    Main Results:

    • 854 AP patients were analyzed; biliary causes predominated (88.2%).
