2024 Translational Gastroenterology and Hepatology. All rights reserved..

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first reported in China at the end of 2019. Several case studies have documented a probable association between infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and acute pancreatitis (AP). The objective of this study was to provide a complete analysis of existing literature that compares the clinical outcomes of AP in patients with COVID-19 and those without COVID-19. The intention was to further our understanding of the involvement of SARS-CoV-2 in the development of pancreatitis.

Methods: Between January 2019 and December 2022, we searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus. Nine studies (3,160 patients) were included. In this meta-analysis, Stata 12.0. was utilized. The information provided in this study is presented following the MOOSE reporting checklist.

Results: Mortality [odds ratio (OR) =3.95, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.87, 5.43, P<0.001], intensive care unit (ICU) administration (OR =3.74, 95% CI: 2.26, 6.20, P<0.001), mechanical ventilation (OR =4.84, 95% CI: 2.14, 10.96, P<0.001), severe pancreatitis (OR =2.71, 95% CI: 1.04, 7.04, P=0.042), etiology of idiopathic and unknown (OR =4.75, 95% CI: 1.80, 12.56, P=0.002), necrotizing pancreatitis (OR =1.88, 95% CI: 1.28, 2.76, P=0.001), and length of hospital stay [weighted mean difference (WMD) =5.10, 95% CI: 2.79, 7.41, P<0.001] were more significantly increased in AP cases with COVID-19 than those without it.

Conclusions: In conclusion, the findings of this study indicate a potential worsening of AP outcomes in patients affected by COVID-19.
