Management of Idiopathic Acute Pancreatitis in Europe: An International Pancreas2000 Survey

Key Points

The aim is to examine the differing methods of determining the aetiology of acute pancreatitis across Europe.
Conducted an international survey among various centers in Europe
Collected data on the approaches used to identify aetiology
Analyzed discrepancies in clinical practices
Identified significant variations in aetiology determination methods across regions
Common recognition of the importance of identifying aetiology to prevent recurrence
Highlighted the lack of a standardized protocol in clinical settings

Abstract

This survey reveals significant disparities in the methods used to determine the aetiology of acute pancreatitis across different regions and centres within Europe. We share a common understanding that identifying the acute pancreatitis aetiology is critical to prevent recurrence. However, the absence of a validated protocol for this process is a notable gap in the clinical practice.
