Clinical Outcomes in a Multicenter Cohort Involving 919 Patients With Hypertriglyceridemia-Associated Acute Pancreatitis.

Introduction: Hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) is one of the most common etiologies of acute pancreatitis (AP) worldwide. Compared with other etiologies, patients with HTG-AP may develop more severe AP, but previous studies yielded controversial conclusion due to the lack of adequate adjustment for the confounders. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the possibility and risk factors of developing severe AP in HTG-AP.
