HbA1c and the Severity of Acute Pancreatitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Our review suggests that elevated HbA1c levels may increase the likelihood of developing severe AP as well as local and systemic complications. The results of the review are limited due to the small number of included studies. We recommend that large multicentre cohort studies be conducted to further investigate this relationship.
