Description
Daniil Varlamov leads a 2026 study of acute pancreatitis cases at a large hospital in Latvia. Sudden inflammation of the pancreas is a common reason for gut-related admission, yet detailed data from the Baltic region are scarce. The team reviewed first admissions for each patient between 2020 and 2024.
The cohort held 1,047 patients with a median age of 50, and 62.0 percent were men. Alcohol was the top cause at 37.0 percent, ahead of gallstones at 24.7 percent. One in five patients developed a complication in hospital. Alcohol-related and other non-gallstone causes carried more than double the odds of complications compared with gallstone cases. Diabetes and heart failure also raised risk. Stays ran a median of six days, and 5.3 percent of patients died in hospital.
