Description of the research topic:

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a serious disease with high mortality in adults. In the past few years, studies have showed an increased number of AP both in children and adults. The fact that the incidence of AP in adults is 4.8–38 per 100,000 and is 3.6–13.2 per 100,000 in children suggests that AP in children is as common as it is in adults. It is almost needless to say that children are not ‘small adults’; however, the suggestions for the management of AP in children are mostly based on clinical trials performed on adults. Published studies on the clinical characteristics of AP in adults, were mostly based on retrospective cohorts or prospectively collected data from of 200-300 cases. Large nationwide prospectively collected cohorts are needed on both patient population.
