The in-hospital mortality rate was 4.5 % (n = 11,711). The overall survival at 1, 2, 5 and 10 years was 88.9 [95%CI 88.7,89], 85.2 [85.1,85.4], 76.1 [75.9,76.3] and 63.9 [63.6,64.2]. Long-term survival (10-year) was higher with biliary aetiology (p < 0.01), younger age groups (p < 0.05) and those without ITU admission (p < 0.01).</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>The incidence of AP in England is increasing and in-hospital mortality rates remain significant. These findings have implications for resource allocation to mitigate risk factors for developing AP in addition to the need for long-term follow-up for at-risk groups.</div></div><div><h3>Clinical trial registration</h3><div>N/A.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13229,"journal":{"name":"Hpb","volume":"27 5","pages":"Pages 723-731"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143537070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
