- W4200503342 abstract "Abstract Background Acute pancreatitis is an acute inflammatory process affecting the pancreas with variable involvement of local tissues and remote organs and may sometimes progress into necrosis of the pancreas. Diagnosis is usually made based on the clinical presentation of abdominal pain alongside a positive biochemical result of either serum amylase or lipase levels. Current guidelines by International Association of Pancreatology (IAP) state that early use of computed tomography (CT) is only indicated in patients who have no definite diagnosis, and should be delayed to at least 96 hours after the onset of the symptoms to evaluate complications. We aimed to assess the over-utilization of CT scans in the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. Methods We performed a prospective cohort study of patients with confirmed acute pancreatitis who presented to a single NHS trust between March and April 2021. We included patients with at least two out of the three findings: (1) an acute abdominal pain, (2) elevated serum amylase levels of more than three times the normal range and (3) acute pancreatitis as evidenced on abdominal imaging. We defined inappropriate CT scans as those performed within 96 hours in the presence of both clinical and biochemical diagnostic criteria. Results A total of 53 patients met the inclusion criteria and were admitted with acute pancreatitis during this 2-month period at our trust. 54.7% (29/53) of this cohort had at least one CT scan performed during the index admission. 28.3% (15/53) of the admitted patients had an early CT scan performed in the presence of positive biochemical and clinical diagnostic criteria. This represents 51.7% of the total number of CT scans performed in the study group. Conclusions We found evidence of excessive use of CT scans in the early phase of acute pancreatitis for diagnostic purposes. Limiting the overuse of CT scans in the diagnosis of the same will not just reduce the financial burden of the hospital and trust, but also limit the avoidable exposure of patients to radiation." @default.
