Abstract

Background: In developed countries, the adult population has a 20% incidence of gallstones, with a rise of 0.60 to 1.39% yearly. Our study aimed to determinethe frequency of gallstones in Acute Pancreatitis (AP) patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted atAbbasi Shaheed Hospital, Karachi, recruited all patients fulfilling inclusion criteria presented in the general surgery department from 3rd Oct 2020 to 3rd Oct 2021. After ethical approval and consent, a brief history was taken, and clinical examination, laboratory investigations, and ultrasound of the upper abdomenwere done to ascertain the frequency of gallstones. Results:A total of 93 patients diagnosed with APwere included in this study. Of these, 70 (50.6%) were male patients, and 23 (49.4%) were females,with a mean age of 40.752+11.764 years. The gallstones were found in 42 (45.2%) patients. Conclusion: The frequency of gallbladder stones was high in patients with AP. A prompt or a late diagnosis can directly affect a patient’s mortality and morbidity. Keywords: Abdomen, Acute Pancreatitis, Gallstones, Prevalence.

巴基斯坦卡拉奇三级医院急性胰腺炎患者中胆结石的发病率

背景：在发达国家，成年人胆结石的发病率为20%，每年上升0.60%至1.39%。我们的研究旨在确定急性胰腺炎（AP）患者中胆结石的发病率：这项横断面研究在卡拉奇的阿巴斯沙希德医院进行，招募了 2020 年 10 月 3 日至 2021 年 10 月 3 日期间在普外科就诊的所有符合纳入标准的患者。在获得伦理批准并征得同意后，对患者进行简短病史询问、临床检查、实验室检查和上腹部超声波检查，以确定胆结石的发病率。其中，男性患者 70 例（50.6%），女性患者 23 例（49.4%），平均年龄为 40.752+11.764 岁。42例（45.2%）患者发现胆结石：结论：胆囊结石在 AP 患者中的发病率很高。结论：胆囊结石在急性胰腺炎患者中的发病率很高，诊断及时与否会直接影响患者的死亡率和发病率：腹部急性胰腺炎胆结石患病率
