“…A second episode of recurrent acute pancreatitis is not exempt from the risks for the patient, and successive episodes of recurrent pancreatitis increase by up to 10% the risk of chronic pancreatitis (20). In our study, there were no reports of evolution from ABEP to severe pancreatitis.…”

Objectives: Analyzing the readmission of patients with acute biliary edematous pancreatitis (ABEP) without cholecystectomy despite a previous episode of mild acute gallstone pancreatitis or lithiasic cholecystitis. Calculating the health costs associated with the non-performance of cholecystectomy.Materials and methods: Prospective observational study conducted at a tertiary hospital (Hospital de Cabueñes. Gijón, Asturias. Spain) from July to November 2014. The study has consecutively included inpatients suffering from ABEP who: a) had suffered a previous episode of mild acute gallstone pancreatitis or cholecystitis at least 2 weeks before readmission; and b) had not undergone cholecystectomy despite the lack of contraindications.Results: During the research period, 9 patients (7 females and 2 males) with a mean age of 65. Conclusions: Not performing a cholecystectomy within two weeks after a first episode of mild ABEP or cholecystitis contributes to patient readmission due to recurrent pancreatitis, resulting in avoidable treatment costs.

“…Importantly, we found comparable risk of severe acute pancreatitis in these patients compared to those with the first attack of the disease. Thus, the same degree of attention should be given to the management of patients with recurrent acute pancreatitis [21]. Finally, it is important to note that HAPS should be used with the original parameters.…”
