“…APFCs occur around the pancreatic region without welldefined walls or solid internal components [5]; they typically develop within four weeks of AP. Radiological imaging through CT, MRI, and ultrasound is an important part of AP diagnosis, follow-up, and elimination of the aforementioned local complications as possibilities [6]. Although most APFCs are mild and resolve spontaneously without any intervention, management is usually recommended in symptomatic cases and those complicated by infection and sepsis [7].…”

“…This study is a follow-up of a previous study by the same group of authors, the aim of which was to calculate the incidence of APFCs in patients presenting with AP; the incidence rate found in the study was 48% in Saudi populations [6]. This study was performed on the same patient population with a few alterations in the inclusion and exclusion criteria, which resulted in an entirely different sample.…”

Objectives: This study aims to identify various risk factors for acute peripancreatic fluid collections (APFCs) in patients presenting with acute pancreatitis (AP).Methods: A blinded retrospective case-control study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Riyadh. Data from 327 patients who presented with AP between January 2008 and 2021 were analyzed. Following the application of inclusion/exclusion criteria, the final sample size consisted of 82 patients. Patients were divided into cases and controls based on the presence or absence of APFCs, respectively. APFCs were defined as fluid collections in the peripancreatic region that develop within four weeks of presentation without welldefined walls or solid internal components. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory variables were collected and subjected to multivariate binary regression analysis to assess the odds of developing APFCs.Results: A total of 34 patients were categorized as cases, while 48 patients were controls. A significant association was found between age (P=0.022), total bilirubin (P=0.012), lipase level (P<0.001), albumin level (P=0.038), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (P=0.037) on admission and the odds of developing APFCs. Conclusion: Older age, higher levels of bilirubin and lipase, and low levels of albumin and LDH were found to be risk factors for developing APFCs. No other variables were found to be significant. The findings of this study may provide insight into how often clinicians can expect APFCs in patients presenting with AP.

We aimed to identify the etiology of acute pancreatitis (AP) and its most common causes with its epidemiological features among the Saudi population in 2023 in different regions. In this systematic review, we assessed the etiology and epidemiological features of acute pancreatitis in Saudi Arabia following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2009 guidelines. Inclusion criteria were studies conducted in Saudi Arabia, published in English, and involving participants aged 18 years or older. PubMed and Google Scholar were searched in March 2023 for English articles published between 1985 and 2023 using specific keywords. Two reviewers screened titles, abstracts, and full-text articles for eligibility, with disagreements resolved by a third reviewer. Data on study characteristics, participant demographics, and etiological factors were extracted using a standardized form. Descriptive analysis summarized the etiology of acute pancreatitis in Saudi Arabia based on the extracted data. Out of the 58 studies retrieved for screening, 10 studies were included in the final systematic review, and most of them were done in the Riyadh region. The sum of the sample size was 1,695 participants. In Saudi Arabia, the most prevalent cause of acute pancreatitis is biliary stones. The average mortality rate of acute pancreatitis in reported studies is 2.2%. In conclusion, biliary and idiopathic causes are the most frequent etiologies of AP in some different regions of Saudi Arabia, acute peripancreatic fluid collections and pancreatic pseudocysts are the two most commonly reported complications associated with AP, and the mortality rate of AP in Saudi Arabia may be higher compared to developed countries.
