Six‐fold increased risk of acute pancreatitis in alcohol‐related liver disease compared to matched comparators: A population‐based cohort study
ALD is associated with 9-fold higher odds of prevalent pancreatitis compared to the general population. The hospitalization rate for AP following ALD diagnosis is 6-fold higher. About 10% of patients with ALD have or develop AP, suggesting that assessing history of pancreatitis and its sequelae might be relevant for patients with ALD.
