REVISIÓN NARRATIVA SOBRE MORBILIDAD Y MORTALIDAD EN PANCREATITIS AGUDA: ENFOQUE CLÍNICO ACTUAL

Abstract

Tipo de artículo: Artículo de revisión Introducción: La pancreatitis aguda constituye una causa frecuente de ingreso hospitalario, con impacto significativo en la morbilidad y mortalidad. Objetivo: Revisar la evidencia disponible sobre la morbilidad y mortalidad de la pancreatitis aguda en el ámbito hospitalario. Metodología: Se realizó una revisión narrativa de literatura publicada entre 2015 y 2025 en PubMed, Scopus y SciELO, utilizando los descriptores “acute pancreatitis”, “mortality”, “morbidity”, “hospital management”. Se incluyeron artículos originales, revisiones y guías clínicas. Resultados: Se identificaron 18 publicaciones relevantes. La litiasis biliar y el alcoholismo fueron las principales causas etiológicas, con prevalencia combinada superior al 60%. El dolor abdominal se reafirma como síntoma cardinal, presente en más del 90% de los casos. El tratamiento conservador predomina en formas leves y moderadas, asociado a baja mortalidad (<5%). La tomografía computarizada y la ecografía abdominal se consolidan como herramientas diagnósticas clave, según la Clasificación de Atlanta revisada. Conclusiones: La evidencia respalda el manejo conservador en pancreatitis aguda leve y moderada, con baja mortalidad y relevancia docente para la formación clínica. Se subraya la importancia de una evaluación etiológica y pronóstica individualizada para optimizar resultados.

Article type: Review article Introduction: Acute pancreatitis is a common cause of hospital admission, with significant impact on morbidity and mortality. Objective: To review the available evidence on morbidity and mortality in acute pancreatitis within hospital settings. Methodology: A narrative review of literature published between 2015 and 2025 was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and SciELO, using the descriptors “acute pancreatitis”, “mortality”, “morbidity”, “hospital management”. Original articles, reviews, and clinical guidelines were included. Results: Eighteen relevant publications were identified. Biliary lithiasis and alcoholism were the leading etiologies, with a combined prevalence above 60%. Abdominal pain remains the cardinal symptom, present in over 90% of cases. Conservative management predominates in mild and moderate forms, associated with low mortality (<5%). Computed tomography and abdominal ultrasound are consolidated as key diagnostic tools, according to the revised Atlanta Classification. Conclusions: Evidence supports conservative management in mild to moderate acute pancreatitis, with low mortality and educational relevance for clinical training. Individualized etiological and prognostic assessment is emphasized to optimize outcomes.
