Abstract :Background: It is important to determine the severity of acute pancreatitis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AP); and its prognosis.The aim of this study is to research the efficiency of vitamin D level on the severity of acute pancreatitis in geriatric population. Methods: Files of 4108 patients were analyzed retrospectively. Serum vitamin D levels of total 404 patients insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(geriatric 160 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n:160);; non-geriatric 244 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n:244);); were compared between mild, moderate and severe groups according to revised Atlanta classification for acute pancreatitis. Relationship between the severity of acute pancreatitis and vitamin D levels were analyzed. Results: No significant difference was observed in non-geriatric patients in terms of vitamin D levels according to the Atlanta classification for acute pancreatitis. However, there were significant differences both between mild and moderate groups and between moderate and severe groups in geriatric patients insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.005);. AP was more severe in patients with a low vitamin D level insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.005);. Conclusion:We have concluded that vitamin D levels may be insufficient to predict the severity of acute pancreatitis considering age factor, which is a substantial indicator of its prognosis. Vitamin D levels have been found out to be efficient in the severity of disease in geriatric acute pancreatitis patients compared to non-geriatric ones.
