Brief Summary

Acute pancreatitis is a complex gastrointestinal disease with a variable course that is often difficult to predict early in its development. The majority of cases are mild, self-limited, and follow an uncomplicated course. However, 10-20% of cases can be associated with pancreatic or peripancreatic fluid collections, or both. Infected necrosis complicates 10% of all acute pancreatitis episodes and is associated with a mortality of 15-20%. Current guidelines for necrotizing pancreatitis recommend to postpone drainage until 4 or more weeks after initial presentation to allow collections to "walled-off". However, evidence of infection with clinical deterioration despite maximum support may mandate earlier intervention. It is unclear whether such delay is needed for drainage or whether earlier endoscopic intervention could actually be beneficial in the current approach. The aims of this randomized, controlled, multicenter study is to evaluate whether early endoscopic drainage in patients with peripancreatic fluid collection is superior to postponed intervention in the current practice.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Changes in the Bedside Index of Severe Acute Pancreatitis (BISAP)

    Comparison of BISAP changes between the two groups after different treatments. Also compare the number of participants with BISAP ≥3. BISAP was designed as a predictor of mortality based on 5 variables: blood urea nitrogen (BUN) level greater than 25 mg/dL, impaired mental status, systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), age older than 60 years, or radiographic evidence of pleural effusion within the first 24 hours of admission. A BISAP score of 3 or greater was associated with developing organ failure, and a higher scores mean a worse outcome.

  • Length of ICU stays

Study Arms (2)

Early endoscopic interventions for AP

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in the intervention group will undergo EUS guided drainage earlier (≤1 weeks) in the disease course.

Procedure: Early drainage of peripancreatic fluid collections

Standard endoscopic interventions for AP

NO INTERVENTION

Participants in the control group will have postponed drainage, preferably until AP progress to the walled-off necrosis stage.

Interventions

Participants will undergo EUS guided drainage earlier (≤1 weeks) in the disease course.
