Brief Summary

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common condition in emergency services worldwide. Approximately 85% of AP are mild and the patients usually recover within 1 to 2 weeks, not requeiring any critical care and organ support. The management of mild AP conventionally involves fasting, intravenous hydration and adequate analgesia until pain improves in order to prevent stimulation and allow the pancreas gland to rest. The current guidelines recommend the oral food intake should be tried as soon as possible, and beneficial effects or early enteral nutrition with mild AP have been reported in literature. Then, early oral refeeding (EORF) after mild and moderate AP is beneficial, but the optimal timing and starting criteria are unclear. Even now, refeeding after mild and moderate AP is typically started until clinical symptoms have resolved and pancreatic enzymes are decreasing, in a successively increasing manner. The aim of this study is to evaluate length of hospital stay, clinical findings and complications for EORF with immediately full caloric intake in patients with mild and moderate AP.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Length of hospitalization

    Days

    measured from onset of admission until time of actual discharge from hospital. Assessed between 1-10 days up to 14 days.

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Relapse of abdominal pain

    measured from onset of admission until time of actual discharge from hospital. Assessed between 1-10 days up to 14 days, and during the follow up (1 month after discharge)

  • Duration of fasting

    2-3 days approximately since the first day of hospital admission

  • Tolerance to food

    2-7 days approximately during hospital admission and during the follow up

  • Elevation of serum amylase or lipase

    2-4 days approximately during hospital admission after oral refeeding, until hospital discharge

  • Intra-abdominal infection

    1 month

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Early oral refeeding

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The patients will be started the oral refeeding from the first day of admission in the hospital. Patients will receive a low fat solid diet with more and less 1500 calories, 35 g fat day

Other: EARLY ORAL REFEEDING

FASTING

NO INTERVENTION

The oral diet will be reintroduced in a traditional stepwise manner until the symptoms, signs, inflammatory parameters of AP have resolved

Interventions

the oral refeeding will be started after admission. Patients will receive a low fat solid diet with more and less 1500 calories, 35 g fat day

Early oral refeeding

You may not qualify if:

  • \) pregnant o breastfeeding women;
  • \) abdominal pain lasting \>96 horas before admission;
