Increased Early Post-Discharge Mortality in Patients With Acute Pancreatitis.
Article in United European gastroenterology journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundEmerging evidence suggests that individuals who recover from acute pancreatitis may face a significant risk of mortality during the early post-discharge period. Despite these concerns, comprehensive population-based studies on this issue are lacking.
objectivesTo study in-hospital and post-discharge mortality in patients with acute pancreatitis and how it has changed over time.
methodsIn a Danish nationwide population-based cohort study, we included all adults discharged after an incident episode of acute pancreatitis between 2002 and 2017. For each patient, five individuals from the general population, matched by age and sex, were selected as controls. We used Cox regression analysis to assess all-cause mortality at 90 days, 1, 2, and 5 years post-discharge and to examine trends in in-hospital and post-discharge mortality over the study period. Models were adjusted for comorbidities, heavy smoking, alcohol abuse and sociodemographic factors.
resultsOf 28,759 adults with incident acute pancreatitis, 956 (3.3%) died in hospital. The 27,803 patients discharged from the hospital following an incident episode of acute pancreatitis were matched with 139,035 individuals (mean age 58.1 years, 51.1% men). The cumulative post-discharge mortality at 90 days was 5.0% for the acute pancreatitis cohort and 0.55% for controls. The mortality risk was significantly increased in acute pancreatitis patients at 90 days post-discharge (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 7.62; 95% CI 6.86-8.45); the risk attenuated over time but remained elevated for up to five years (aHR 1.85; 95% CI 1.79-1.92). In-hospital mortality decreased over the study period (aHR 0.65; 95% CI 0.53-0.81) from 2002-2005 to 2014-2017, while post-discharge mortality risk remained stable (aHR 0.85; 95% CI 0.72-1.01). Gastrointestinal and cardiovascular diseases accounted for 59.4% of 90-day post-discharge deaths.
conclusionsIn-hospital mortality for acute pancreatitis has improved in recent years. However, the risk of post-discharge mortality remains high, especially in the first 90 days after discharge.
