AEG-AESPANC-OPGE-SIED-SPG Ibero-Latin American Guidelines on Acute Pancreatitis (iLATAM-AP)

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a major cause of gastrointestinal hospitalizations worldwide. Although typically self-limiting, up to one-third of cases develop complications associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Despite recent advances that have improved outcomes, clinical heterogeneity necessitates updated, evidence-based guidance. In addition, there remains a need to improve the implementation of evidence-based recommendations across Ibero-Latin American countries by bringing together diverse scientific societies and regional experts to enhance applicability and the dissemination of best practices. This guideline offers comprehensive recommendations for both mild and complicated AP diagnosis and management.
