Abstract

Comorbidity and age clearly are contributors to organ failure and mortality. Local complications occur independently of age and concomitant diseases. The overall complication rate is not significantly influenced by preceding inflammation of the pancreas. To further improve care in patients with acute pancreatitis special attention should be given to old and multi-morbid patients.
