One-hundred-six cases of acute pancreatitis have been prospectively studied in order to determine the characteristics of the complications that occur in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). 19.81% of the patients developed SAP and 7.5% died. Chronic hepatitic disease was the only previous condition found with an increased frequency in SAP patients. We should point out that 90.5% of the patients developed more than one and 38% between 4 and 6 complications during their hospital stay. The most frequently occurring complication was encephalopathy (11.33%) followed by sepsis (8.49%), renal failure (8.49%) and respiratory failure (7.55%). The time of onset of each of the complications was quite variable, ranging from the first hospital day (shock) to the 29th (choledochal stenosis). The patients suffering shock and/or respiratory failure had a greater mortality rate.
