Mortality Indicators and Risk Factors for Intra-Abdominal Hypertension in Severe Acute Pancreatitis

Abstract: This study assessed the risk factors associated with mortality and the development of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). To identify significant risk factors, we assessed the following variables in 102 patients with SAP: age, gender, etiology, serum amylase level, white blood cell (WBC) count, serum calcium level, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE-II) score, computed tomography severity index (CTSI) score, pancreatic necrosis, surgical i… Show more

“…Consistent with previous studies, our results indicate that age, multiple organ failure, and timing of intervention dramatically affect mortality [10,11,16,17]. An association between markedly increased WBC count and death has earlier been shown in studies of acute pancreatitis and severe acute pancreatitis [18][19][20][21].…”

“…Hypovolemia is a result of a systemic inflammatory state initiated by AP, associated with vasodilation, escape of fluid into the third space, and increase in intra-abdominal pressure. In patients with SAP, intra-abdominal hypertension is observed, which significantly contributes to the reduced perfusion of organs, including the kidneys [ 25 ]. Dehydration and hypovolemia are also intensified by vomiting or fever, often accompanying AP.…”

“…The IAP acts on the diaphragm and constricts the pulmonary segment, leading to alveolar collapse and a decreased ventilation to blood flow ratio, which causes hypoxemia, hypercarbia and ultimately respiratory failure (17,18). Patients with mechanical ventilation and ACS have a higher risk of developing IAH than those without ACS (19,20).…”
