Özet

Objectives: Gallstones are the most common cause of acute biliary pancreatitis. Laboratory and imaging findings as well as ageare important predictors for mortality. Hospitalization rate is also higher in elderly patients. In this study, we investigated clinicalparameters and total mortality in patients with acute pancreatitis aged >65 years.Methods: In this study, 852 patients who entered the Gastroenterology Clinic for acute biliary pancreatitis between April 2006 andOctober 2013 were included. Data were retrospectively collected from the electronic record system. The patients with elevatedaspartate aminotransferase levels (i.e. three times higher than normal value), cholelithiasis, cholecystectomy history, or choledocholithiasiswere accepted as the patients with acute biliary pancreatitis. Patients were divided into two groups based on their age,i.e., >65 and 65 years, urea, leukocyte, and C-reactive protein levels were significantly different. Median hospital staywas similar in both the groups. The rate of detection of choledocholithiasis was significantly higher in elderly patients (p 65 years.
