Objetivo: Caracterizar la morbilidad y mortalidad de la PA en pacientes ingresados en el Hospital General Docente Ciro Redondo García entre enero de 2022 y marzo de 2025. Método: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, longitudinal y prospectivo en 72 pacientes con diagnóstico confirmado de PA. Se analizaron variables sociodemográficas, etiológicas, clínicas, terapéuticas y de desenlace. Resultados: El grupo de 40–59 años fue el más afectado (45.8%), con predominio masculino (59.7%). Los principales factores de riesgo identificados fueron la litiasis biliar (36.1%) y el alcoholismo (29.2%). El dolor abdominal constituyó el síntoma más frecuente (93.1%). El diagnóstico se confirmó en el 88.9% de los pacientes mediante estudios complementarios. El tratamiento conservador predominó (79.2%), mientras que el 20.8% requirió cirugía. La tasa de supervivencia global fue del 93.1%. Conclusiones: La PA afecta principalmente a hombres de mediana edad con factores de riesgo prevenibles. El manejo conservador fue eficaz en la mayoría de los casos, con baja mortalidad.
