“…The amount of alcohol consumption in patients considered to suffer from this etiology in our study was such that ultimately chronic pan creatitis might be expected. The actual num ber of alcoholics among patients in our study may be higher, for even skilled investigators do not always get the correct data for alcohol consumption [4,5], As for the severity of acute pancreatitis, there was a tendency towards more severe cases and fewer mild cases of acute pancre atitis in the second time period. However, these differences were not significant.…”

Reports from various countries raise the question of changes in the incidence and etiology of acute pancreatitis. This study covers patients admitted with acute pancreatitis to a single university department of medicine between 1965 and 1970 and between 1980 and 1985. The absolute number of patients admitted with acute pancreatitis doubled, whereas the percentage of pancreatitic patients in the total population of admitted patients decreased by 38%. No firm conclusion can be made about an increasing incidence of acute pancreatitis from 1970 to 1985. However, the dominating etiological factor was no longer biliary tract disease but significantly shifted to alcoholism, whereas changes in the severity of the disease were not significant. There was a downward trend in mortality with mortality rates of 13 and 8.6% for the first and second period, respectively; however, because of the small number of patients this change did not reach the level of significance.
