Abstract

Background/objectives: Whether seasonality is a factor that influences the incidence of acute pancreatitis (AP) is an under-investigated area. If seasonal incidence peaks can be detected, specifically with regard to biliary pancreatitis, has so far been answered in contradictory ways in the literature.

Methods: All AP cases from two tertiary German referral centers were identified between 2016 and 2022 based on ICD-10 discharge codes. The χ2 test for goodness of fit was applied to test significant differences in monthly and seasonal distributions of AP admissions.

Results: In total, 3597 AP cases were included. We observed significantly more idiopathic and biliary cases in May to July (p-values 0.041 and 0.027, respectively). Furthermore, most drug-induced APs were identified during the winter months (p-value 0.006). Moreover, there was a significant peak of alcohol-induced pancreatitis in summer and fall (p-value 0.038).

Conclusions: Our data indicate a seasonal impact on AP incidences for certain etiologies.

胰腺炎的四季 - 一年中急性胰腺炎的病因。

背景/目的：季节性是否是影响急性胰腺炎（AP）发病率的一个因素是一个研究不足的领域。迄今为止，文献对是否能检测到季节性发病高峰，特别是胆源性胰腺炎的季节性发病高峰给出了相互矛盾的答案：根据 ICD-10 出院代码，确定了 2016 年至 2022 年期间德国两家三级转诊中心的所有 AP 病例。采用χ2检验拟合优度，检验AP入院病例的月度分布和季节分布的显著差异：结果：共纳入 3597 例 AP 病例。我们观察到 5 月至 7 月的特发性和胆源性病例明显增多（p 值分别为 0.041 和 0.027）。此外，大多数由药物诱发的 AP 病例都是在冬季发现的（p 值为 0.006）。此外，夏季和秋季是酒精诱发胰腺炎的高峰期（p 值为 0.038）：我们的数据表明，某些病因导致的胰腺炎发病率受季节影响。
