“…We confirmed in our study the most common cause as idiopathic pancreatitis. However, in El Halabi et al the second most common cause was idiopathic (16%) [15]. Alcoholic Pancreatitis was rare in our cohort (4.3%), compared to Albulushi et al as their second most common cause was alcoholic pancreatitis (32%) [13].…”

Background: Acute pancreatitis is a common and potentially life threatening condition with variation in severity. It has several underlying etiologies such as biliary, hypertriglyceridemia, alcohol, post ERCP and more. It is diagnosed according to fulfillment of the criteria of the Atlanta classification of pancreatitis Methods: Medical records for all the patients admitted to the intensive care unit between the time period of September 2018 and January 2021 with a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. The criteria of Atlanta classification of acute pancreatitis was applied to confirm the diagnosis and the Bedside Index for Severity in Acute Pancreatitis score was used to assess the severity. Results: We identified a sample size of 23 patients, with a predominance of males (78.3%) over female (21.7%). The mean age of all patients was (39 years ± 11.98). At the time of admission all the patients (100%) reported having abdominal pain. The etiology distribution was as follows, idiopathic (43.5%), biliary (21.7%), hypertriglyceridemia (17.4%), alcohol (4.3%), malignancy (4.3%) and other (8.7%). Conclusion:We documented acute pancreatitis as more prevalent amongst males and the age group of 30-59 years of age. The most common etiology recognized in our population was idiopathic followed by biliary. Additional studies must be conducted about this condition in this region to amplify our knowledge on it.

Background: The prevalence of acute pancreatitis is rising especially in the Western world, but the prevalence remains unknown in most Middle Eastern Countries. Acute pancreatitis has been attributed with multiple etiologies with the two most common being alcohol abuse disorder and gallstones. The incidence and prevalence of it in the United Arab Emirates are yet to be reported. Materials and Methods: The Atlanta criteria were used for the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis and applied to patients that have been admitted to a single tertiary center in the year 2021. Several variables were investigated including gender, age, clinical presentation, etiology, radiological and laboratory results, complications, and outcome. Moreover, the Bedside Index for Severity in Acute Pancreatitis score was used to assess and determine the severity of acute pancreatitis in these patients. Results: Nineteen patients were identified in our database with 52% being males. The mean age of patients was 41 years. The most frequent presentation was abdominal pain in 100% of our patients. Moreover, the most common etiology identified was idiopathic (52.63%), followed by biliary (21.05%). The mortality rate was 0%. Conclusion: This is the first retrospective study in Dubai on acute pancreatitis. Pancreatitis is a life-threatening condition with multiple etiologies. Physicians should consider multifactorial acute pancreatitis in patients with different comorbidities.
