Multicenter Study[Severe and acute pancreatitis admitted in intensive care: a prospective epidemiological multiple centre study using CClin network database].
To describe the demographic characteristics, incidence of extra-abdominal hospital-acquired infections and outcome of patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) with severe acute pancreatitis. ⋯ Severe acute pancreatitis represents 2 % of ICU stay longer than 48 hours. Its clinical course is frequently complicated by hospital-acquired infections and is associated with an high ICU mortality rate. This epidemiological observational study may be used for calculating sample size for future multicenter interventional therapeutic studies.
