Overview
The annual incidence of acute pancreatitis in the U.S. is 18 to 49 per 100,000 population.[1] In several European studies, the incidence of acute pancreatitis is reported at 12.4 to 31.2 per 100,000.[2][3] A consistent increase in incidence of pancreatitis has been reported in different geographical regions.[4]
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
The incidence of acute pancreatitis is variable and fluctuates between 12.4 to 31.2 per 100,000 depending on the population and time period studied. More importantly, is a consistent trend of increasing incidence across different studies.[4] [5]
A UK study reports an increased incidence from the mid-1990s to 2013, in both males and females from ~14.5 to ~30 per 100,000. [6]
The reason for this increased incidence is not clearly understood with some reporting an increase in alcoholic pancreatitis, while others report a decrease in this etiology. An increase in gallstone and gallbladder associated conditions has been reported.
Mortality
The mortality associated with acute pancreatitis has decreased significantly over the years with the improvements in medical care. Currently the mortality is about ~2%. This figure increases depending on the subgroup studied. Subgroups associated with a higher mortality include the elderly, the morbidly obese, and patients who acquire hospital infections. Mortality has been reported as high as 30% in some patient groups.
Age
Gender
Acute pancreatitis affects both men and women. Most studies report a slightly higher incidence in men than women.
Race
