Phase 4
Conditions
Acute Pancreatitis
Interventions
Drug: Balanced crystalloid solution
Drug: Normal saline
Registration Number
NCT04688645
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital Rijeka
Brief Summary

Patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis regardless of etiology, severity of disease, and prior attacks will be randomized in two groups. The intervention group will receive a balanced crystalloid (Plasmalyte) at a rate of 10 ml/kg during the first 60 min and then continued at 3 ml/kg/h for the next 72 hours. The control group will receive normal saline at the same rate.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mortality30 days

Number of death cases

Number of participants with organ failure (transitory and persistent)30 days

Organ failure defined according to the modified Marshall criteria

Number of participants with local complications30 days

Local complications including:

* acute peripancreatic fluid collection

* acute necrotic collection

* pseudocyst

* walled-off necrosis

Number od participants with systemic complications30 days

Worsening of existing concomitant diseases

Number of participants with infected pancreatic necrosis30 days

Defined by positive cultures from fine-needle aspiration of necrotic tissue or by the combination of clinical deterioration with clinical signs of infection and presence of gas within the necrotic tissue on imaging in cases of culture-negative, but highly suspicious cases.

Number of participants needing endoscopic / percutaneous / surgical interventions30 days

In cases when presence of local infection or local complications (i.e. collection compressing surrounding organs and causing symptoms) requires an intervention

Length of hospital stay30 days

Number of days in hospital, from admission to discharge or death.
