Researchers hunt for clues to predict deadly pancreas infection
NCT ID NCT03253861
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study reviewed medical records of 148 adults admitted to the ICU with severe acute pancreatitis. The goal was to find risk factors for infected pancreatic necrosis, a serious complication that raises the risk of death. By identifying these factors, doctors hope to diagnose and treat the infection earlier.
