Abstract

Purpose To investigate the clinical and CT features at admission to predict the progression to necrotizing pancreatitis (NP) in patients initially diagnosed with interstitial edematous pancreatitis (IEP). Materials and Methods Patients with IEP who underwent contrast-enhanced CT at admission and follow-up CT (< 14 days) were included (n = 178). Two radiologists performed a consensus review of follow-up CT scans and diagnosed the type of acute pancreatitis as IEP or NP. Laboratory findings at admission were recorded. Clinical, CT, and laboratory findings were compared between the IEP-IEP group and IEP-NP group using the chi-square test and the t-test. Multivariate analysis was also performed. Results There were 112 and 66 patients in the IEP-IEP and the IEP-NP groups, respectively. The proportion of patients with alcohol etiology was significantly larger in the IEP-NP group. Among the CT findings, the presence of peripancreatic fluid and heterogeneous parenchymal enhancement were more frequently observed in the IEP-NP group. Among the laboratory variables, serum C-reactive protein levels and white blood cell counts were significantly higher in the IEP-NP group. Multivariate analysis revealed that the presence of peripancreatic fluid and heterogeneous parenchymal enhancement were significant findings distinguishing the two groups. Conclusion CT findings, such as the presence of peripancreatic fluid and heterogeneous pancreatic parenchymal enhancement, may be helpful in predicting the progression to NP in patients initially diagnosed with IEP.

목적 간질부종성 췌장염으로 진단된 환자군에서 괴사성 췌장염으로의 진행을 예측할 수 있는 입원 당시 초기 임상소견 및 CT 소견을 알아보고자 한다. 대상과 방법 간질부종성 췌장염으로 진단되어 입원 당시 및 14일 이내 추적 조영증강 CT를 시행한 178명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 두 명의 영상의학 전문의가 추적 CT를 분석하여 간질부종성 또는 괴사성 췌장염을 결정하였다. 입원 당시 혈액검사 소견도 기록하였다. 간질부종성-간질부종성 췌장염 환자군과 간질부종성-괴사성 췌장염 환자군 간에 임상소견, CT 소견 및 혈액검사 소견들을 비교하였다. 다변량 분석도 시행하였다. 결과 간질부종성-간질부종성 췌장염 환자군은 112명, 간질부종성-괴사성 췌장염 환자군은 66명이었다. 알코올성 췌장염의 비율은 간질부종성-괴사성 췌장염 환자군이 더 높았다. 입원 당시 CT 소견 중 췌장주위 액체저류, 췌장실질의 비균질성은 간질부종성-괴사성 췌장염 환자군에서 더 흔하게 나타났다. 입원 당시 혈액검사 소견 중 혈청 C-반응성 단백 수치 및 백혈구수가 간질부종성-괴사성 췌장염 환자군에서 더 높게 나타났다. 다변량 분석을 시행했을 때 췌장주위 액체저류와 췌장실질의 비균질성 소견이 두 환자군을 구별하는데 유의한 인자로 나타났다. 결론 초기 CT상 간질부종성 췌장염으로 진단된 환자군에서 CT 소견 중 췌장주위 액체저류, 췌장실질의 비균질성은 괴사성 췌장염으로의 진행을 예측하는 데 도움이 된다.
