Background: Hospital death is significant in patients with Severe Acute Pancreatitis (SAP). These patients have
elevated Intra-Abdominal Pressure (IAP), which may result in organ dysfunction. The goals of this study were to
examine the overall incidence of rising IAP in patients with SAP, as well as the progression of organ dysfunction
and risk of mortality factors for higher IAP.
Materials and methods: Between 2020 and 2023, 118 cases of acute pancreatitis were managed in the intensive
care unit of (University). Patients were categorized into quartiles 1-4. The intra-vesical technique was used to
assess elevated IAP levels.
Results: Peak IAP, max Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, max Acute Physiology and Chronic
Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score, top creatinine level and age, with l.. View More»
