Abstract

Objective: To determine the causes and evaluate prognostic factors affecting the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP) at Thanh Ba Medical Center. Subjects and Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study on 36 AP patients from February 2023 to November 2024. Diagnosis was based on the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) criteria. Prognostic factors included age, gender, biochemical tests, and the BISAP score. Results: Main causes: Alcohol (38.9%), gallstones (27.9%), hypertriglyceridemia (16.6%). Severity: 19.4% of patients had BISAP ≥ 3. Prognostic factors: Age ≥ 60, male gender, white blood cell count > 15 G/L, and CRP ≥ 150 mg/L were associated with severe AP (p < 0.05). Complications: Acute kidney injury (11.1%), acute respiratory distress syndrome (8.3%), pancreatic necrosis (5.6%). Conclusion: Alcohol is the leading cause of AP. Prognostic factors such as age, gender, white blood cell count, and CRP are valuable in assessing AP severity.
