RESUMO
Background:Recurrent acute pancreatitis(RAP)is a special type of acute pancreatitis(AP). Finding the cause is the key to avoid the recurrence of RAP. Aims:To investigate the risk factors of RAP. Methods:The clinical data of 43 patients with RAP and 130 patients with only one time AP(control group)were retrospectively analyzed. Risk factors of recurrence of RAP were analyzed. Results:Univariate analysis showed that no significant differences in etiology,severity, serum levels of cholesterol,calcium,white blood cell count,amylase,ALT,AST,total bilirubin,direct bilirubin and C-reactive protein were found between RAP group and control group(P > 0. 05). Serum triglyceride level,blood glucose level and CT score in RAP group were significantly higher than those in control group(t = 3. 260,P < 0. 05;t = 2. 720, P < 0. 05;t = 2. 162,P < 0. 05). Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that serum triglyceride level,blood glucose level and CT score were risk factors of RAP(oR = 1. 86,95% CI:1. 05-3. 68,P = 0. 03;oR = 1. 23,95% CI:1. 01-1. 50,P = 0. 04;oR = 2. 46,95% CI:1. 00-6. 03,P = 0. 04). Conclusions:The recurrence of RAP is related with serum triglyceride level,blood glucose level and CT score.
