Prospective Registry Of Therapeutic EndoscopiC ulTrasound

This registry aims to analyze long-term outcomes of therapeutic EUS (T-EUS) procedures, as well as to describe clinical and technical variables potentially predicting clinical success or adverse events, for a better selection of ideal candidates. The study also includes standard alternatives to T-EUS procedures for outcomes comparison.

Comparison of MIPPED-C and Surgical Necrosectomy in Pancreatic Necrosis Outcomes

This study is a retrospective, single-center, pre-post controlled clinical study. Patients (n=48) who underwent the MIPPED-C surgical procedure after January 1, 2019 were designated as the treatment group. Patients who were admitted to the hospital from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2018 and underwent traditional open surgery were retrospectively evaluated by surgeons, radiologists, and interventionalists, and then matched for propensity score with a 1:2 ratio. 96 patients who underwent traditional open surgery were selected as the control group. The treatment group underwent the MIPPED-C surgery, while the control group underwent the traditional open necrotic tissue debridement procedure. The differences in inflammatory indicators, SIRS response, immune indicators, organ function indicators, and imaging changes of the two groups of patients at the time of admission, before the operation, and after the operation were retrospectively collected. The survival status, postoperative complications, re-intervention status, hospital stay, ICU stay, and hospitalization costs of the two groups of patients after the operation were also collected.

Pancreatitis - Microbiome as Predictor of Severity II

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the orointestinal microbiome and microbial derived metabolome in patients suffering from acute pancreatitis as a biomarker for severity. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can the orointestinal microbiome robustly predict the course of acute pancreatitis? * How does the microbiome impact the severity of an acute pancreatitis? Buccal/ rectal swabs, plasma and stool is collected from patients with acute pancreatitis within 48h after hospital admission.
