ABSTRACT

A longitudinal cohort study was performed in patients with the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis in the Emergency Service of General Surgery at "Carlos Manuel de Céspedes University General Hospital in Bayamo", Granma, in the period from January 1rst, 2005 to December 31rst, 2010, with the objective of identifying and quantifying the influence of various clinical and imagenological factors in the evolution of patients with acute pancreatitis. There were included 198 patients with this diagnosis. As independent variables there were taken the hypothetical prognosis factors obtained in emergencies, and as a response variable, death during hospitalization. The influence of the age was found in the univariate analysis of quantitative variables (RR 1.6; 95% CI 1, 06-2, 42), the figures of glucose (RR 1.57 IC 1, 09-2, 26) and the time of evolution (RR 2.3; 95% CI 1, 00-5, 34) in the development of the death. Among the qualitative variables it prevailed the severe clinical form of acute pancreatitis (95% CI 2.4 RR 1, 5-3, 9). In the multivariate logistic regression model there were included as independent variables associated with the prognosis, the age, the clinical form and blood glucose numbers.
