dcterms.abstract	Acute pancreatitis is a complex, life-threatening disease that has many causes, few effective treatments, numerous serious complications, and an often unpredictable course. The disease may range from a mild, self-limiting inflammatory process to extensive necrosis and multi-organ failure. Despite recent advances in diagnosis and treatment, acute pancreatitis continues to be very serious illness with an overall mortality of 5% to 10%, and the incidence of this disease appears to be rising. Early identification of patients with acute pancreatitis who have a high risk of developing complications is of paramount importance to their management.
