RESUMEN
Objective To compare the accuracy of three classification systems [determinant based classification (DBC),Revision of the Atlanta classification (RAC),and Atlanta classification (AC)] to stratify severity of acute pancreatitis (AP),and to analyze the association between different severity categories and clinical outcomes.Methods In this retrospective study,we reviewed the clinical data of 458 patients with AP admitted to our unit from January 2015 to December 2017.AP severity was stratified according to the three classification systems (DBC,RAC,and AC) respectively.The classification accuracy of three classification systems was analyzed.Receiver operating characteristic analysis (area under the curve) compared the accuracy of each classification.Multi-factors logistic regression analysis identified the independent risk fators for mortality of AP.Results Among the three classification systems,there were significant differences in the mortality rate,invasive treatment rate,ICU monitoring rate and the average hospitalization time among the three subtypes (P＜0.001).The RAC and DBC were comparable,but performed better than AC in predicting mortality (AUC 0.94 and 0.95 vs.0.63,P＜0.001),ICU admission (AUC 0.90 and 0.88 vs 0.60,P＜0.001).The DBC performed better than the RAC and OAC in predicting the need for intervention (AUC 0.88 vs 0.69 and 0.68,P＜0.001).Persistent organ failure (OR=13.131,P=0.003) and infected necrosis(OR=9.424,P=0.014) were independent risk factors for mortality.Conclusion The accuracy of DBC and RAC to stratify the severity of AP was significantly higher than that of AC.The accuracy of DBC in predicting clinical outcome was genarally higher than that of RAC and AC.Infectious necrosis and persistent organ failure were the independent risk fators for mortality.
RESUMEN
Infectious necrosis is one of severe local complications caused by acute pancreatitis,and the mortality rate was reported to be up to 10％ ～ 20％.Traditional open surgical debridement used to be the sole option for this disease.Nevertheless,this approach is associated with poor outcome.Currently,conservative treatment and minimally invasive procedures are more favorable.The treatment for infectious necrosis caused by acute pancreatitis can be summarized as 3D,representing delay,drain,debride.The patients usually receive initial treatment in ICU division,and surgical intervention is then delayed.Percutaneous drainage can be firstly performed in the early course of the disease,followed by necrotic tissue debridement with laparoscopic or video-assisted retroperitoneal procedures.Open surgical debridement is now rarely used,which is merely performed for certain refractory cases.The management of acute pancreatitis infected necrosis therefore is a clinical question that requires a multiple disciplinary team rather than a simply surgical disease.This paper reviewed the relevant issues.
