Resumption of exposure to risk factors results in the recurrence of pancreatitis and readmission. This study aimed to identify the predictors of readmission among acute pancreatitis patients. A retrospective study design was adopted where the medical records of patients admitted with acute pancreatitis between January 2019 and December 2020 were included. To determine the predictors for readmission, tools such as demographics, clinical proforma, and checklists on predictors of readmission were utilized. The data were analyzed using descriptive (frequency and percentage) and inferential statistics (logistic regression). The readmission rate among adults with acute pancreatitis was 36%. Most of the patients belonged to the age group of 36-55 years. The predominant risk factors identified causing acute pancreatitis were alcohol abuse, gallstones, and idiopathic factors. A higher rate of readmission was seen in alcoholic acute pancreatitis (60.9%) and patients with moderately severe acute pancreatitis (56.1%). At index admission, 30.9% of patients had type 2 diabetes mellitus, 38.7% were alcohol dependent, 41.3% had peripancreatic collection, 12.2% had pseudocyst, and 13% had walled-off necrosis. These factors were the predictors for readmission in patients with acute pancreatitis. A focus on the predictors of readmission with early interventions that prevent complications during the index admission may reduce the risk of readmission in acute pancreatitis.</p>","PeriodicalId":12666,"journal":{"name":"Gastroenterology Nursing","volume":"48 2","pages":"82-90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143795445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the time of the recall, the facility had over 800 patients scheduled who had already received the recalled medication. The methods used in this project include collaboration with the interdisciplinary team to handle all aspects of the recall with a systematic approach and utilization of this unforeseen event to initiate tracking bowel prep compliance and prep quality with varied types of bowel preps utilizing a bowel prep rating scale. Of the over 800 patients scheduled at the time of the recall, 99.6% were prevented from ingesting the recalled medication. The colonoscopy prep compliance rate was 82.3%, and bowel prep quality was considered adequate in 97.7% of completed outpatient colonoscopies.

Rumination refers to the persistent and repetitive contemplation of the causes, consequences, and intricate details of a negative and stressful event. The multiple symptom clusters of IBD cause great distress, physical and financial stress, and thus may increase the level of rumination in patients. However, the relationship between rumination, symptom clusters, and quality of life in IBD patients remains unclear. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the state of rumination and examine its association with symptom clusters and quality of life among individuals with IBD. This study found a significant positive correlation between rumination and symptom clusters, while a significant negative correlation between rumination and quality of life in IBD patients (p < .001). Patients with higher levels of rumination in IBD exhibited more severe symptoms and poorer quality of life. Reducing rumination levels may prove beneficial in alleviating symptoms and improving the quality of life for IBD patients.

Airway access scored significantly better in the semi-prone position. There was a significant positive correlation between the total number of cannulation attempts and papilla type.
