Description
Tipo de artículo: Artículo original
Introducción: La pancreatitis aguda (PA) es una causa frecuente de ingreso hospitalario, con evolución clínica variable y riesgo de complicaciones graves.
Objetivo: Caracterizar la morbilidad y mortalidad de la PA en pacientes ingresados en el Hospital General Docente Ciro Redondo García entre enero de 2022 y marzo de 2025.
Método: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, longitudinal y prospectivo en 72 pacientes con diagnóstico confirmado de PA. Se analizaron variables sociodemográficas, etiológicas, clínicas, terapéuticas y de desenlace.
Resultados: El grupo de 40–59 años fue el más afectado (45.8%), con predominio masculino (59.7%). Los principales factores de riesgo identificados fueron la litiasis biliar (36.1%) y el alcoholismo (29.2%). El dolor abdominal constituyó el síntoma más frecuente (93.1%). El diagnóstico se confirmó en el 88.9% de los pacientes mediante estudios complementarios. El tratamiento conservador predominó (79.2%), mientras que el 20.8% requirió cirugía. La tasa de supervivencia global fue del 93.1%.
Conclusiones: La PA afecta principalmente a hombres de mediana edad con factores de riesgo prevenibles. El manejo conservador fue eficaz en la mayoría de los casos, con baja mortalidad.

Introduction: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common cause of hospital admission, with variable clinical progression and risk of severe complications.
Objective: To characterize morbidity and mortality of AP in patients admitted to Ciro Redondo García General Teaching Hospital between January 2022 and March 2025.
Method: A descriptive, longitudinal, and prospective study was conducted involving 72 patients with confirmed AP diagnosis. Sociodemographic, etiological, clinical, therapeutic, and outcome variables were analyzed.

Abdominal pain was the most frequent symptom (93.1%). Diagnosis was confirmed in 88.9% of patients through complementary studies. Conservative treatment predominated (79.2%), while 20.8% required surgery. The overall survival rate was 93.1%.
Conclusions: AP mainly affects middle-aged men with preventable risk factors. Conservative management proved effective in most cases, with low mortality.
