In recent years in many European countries, an increase has been observed in the incidence of acute pancreatitis (AP). Analysis of the results of scarce Polish epidemiological studies suggests that Poland belongs to the countries with the highest incidence rate -72.1/100 000. The incidence rate in the Kielce region is 99.9/100 000 and 79.7/100 000 patients who experienced the first episode of pancreatitis. The main cause of contracting the disease is gallstones, responsible for 34% of cases, while alcohol is the cause of AP in 24.1% of patients. In recent years, an increase has been noted in the incidence of AP with a severe course. Although in the majority of patients the course of the disease is mild, in the severe form mortality remains within the range 30-60%. StreszczenieW ostatnich latach obserwuje się wzrost zachorowań na ostre zapalenie trzustki (OZT) w wielu krajach. Analiza wyników nielicznych polskich badań epidemiologicznych pozwala przypuszczać, że Polska należy do krajów o jednym z najwyższych współczynników zachorowalności -72,1/100 000. Współczynnik zachorowalności w województwie świętokrzyskim wynosi 99,9/100 000. Po raz pierwszy na OZT chorowało 79,7/100 000 osób. Główną przyczyną zachorowania polskich pacjentów jest kamica żółciowa, która odpowiada za 34% przypadków. Alkohol jest przyczyną OZT u 24,1% chorych. Stwierdza się ponadto wzrost częstości występowania OZT o ciężkim przebiegu. Chociaż u większości pacjentów choroba ma przebieg łagodny, to w przypadku ciężkiej postaci śmiertelność kształtuje się na poziomie 30-60%.

“…The epidemiological studies have revealed that gallstones and alcoholism account for 75-80% of all cases of acute pancreatitis [1,2]. In addition, a growing body of evidence shows that many drugs have been reported to be associated with acute pancreatitis, with estimation of 2% of all cases [2,3].…”

“…Identification of factors potentially related to acute pancreatitis is relatively important from a view of preventive medicine. Although many risk factors have been well proven to be associated with acute pancreatitis, including alcoholism, biliary stone, diabetes mellitus as well as hypertriglyceridemia [4][5][6], there is increasing evidence that numerous routine prescription drugs may be another etiological factor of acute pancreatitis [7][8][9]. Approximately 2% of cases with acute pancreatitis may be caused by drugs [7][8][9].…”
