Brief Summary:
The goal of this observational cohort study is to learn about the etiology, natural course, therapeutic effect and outcome of recurrent acute pancreatitis patients. The main question it aims to answer is:
Does endoscopic intervention, surgery or conservative treatment reduce the recurrence of acute pancreatitis? What are the risk factors affecting the recurrence of acute pancreatitis?
Patients will be closely followed and clinical information will be recorded.
Detailed Description:
Acute pancreatitis is one of the most common causes of acute hospital admission, which is unpredictable and contributes to high health-care costs even death. Recurrent acute pancreatitis is defined as two or more discrete episodes of acute pancreatitis, and has an estimated annual incidence of 8-10 per 100 000. Cholelithiasis, alcohol and Hyperglyceremia are the most commonly recognized causes of acute pancreatitis. About 80% of RAP patients can be identified through routine investigations identify (include proper history, physical examination, CT, MRI, endoscopic ultrasound); however, in up to 20% of cases whose cause remains unclear are known as idiopathic RAP. For RAP patients with clear cause, removal of the cause can effectively reduce or prevent recurrence. For patients with idiopathic RAP, the treatment options are not clear and have been subject to debate. At present, the natural course, outcome and therapeutic effect of RAP is still not clear. Therefore, the prospective cohort can clarify the clinical characteristics of RAP more comprehensively and deeply and to accumulate evidence for treatment.
