【 摘 要 】

Introduction: Mild pancreatitis is a self limiting disease, while morbidity and mortality is considerably high in cases of severe necrotizing pancreatitis. Octreotide reduces secretion, release and activation of exocrine hormones; there is collection of pancreatic hormones in duct which in return causes irreversible destruction of the exocrine and endocrine pancreatic parenchyma leading to mal-digestion and diabetes. There are lot of controversies in the treatment of acute pancreatitis, so through this study we tried to evaluate whether there is a beneficial role of octreotide or not. Materials and Method: This case control study was done on patients admitted for the treatment of acute pancreatitis at a tertiary care hospital in Central India. This is retrospective study. The data of inpatient records were taken from the medical records department (MRD) of the hospital. The diagnosis of patients was established on basis of biochemical and radiological investigations. The patients were divided into two groups; cases and control, cases had received octreotide along with fluids (group A) controls received fluids without octreotide (group B). Symptomatic treatment was given in both the groups. Ages of the cases and controls were matched (±3 years). The statistical analysis of data was done and results were obtained. Results: In this retrospective case control study the records of fifty two patients were selected. The mean age in Group A was 35 ±16.45 years and in Group B 40±17.51 years in Group B (tA/B1.061; p ˂0.294). There were 22 males and 4 females in group A, while 20 males and 6 females in group B. Both the groups were comparable. All the patients in octreotide group survived while there were three deaths in control group. As far as mean hospital stay is was 10 days ± 7.10 in group A while it was 7 days ±3.65 in group B. All the p values for the criteria of study are non-significant. But when we talk about percentage, 11.53% patient died in control group. Conclusion: In our study we found that octreotide does not affect the final outcome of patients with acute pancreatitis. There is no effect on hospital stay and reduced need of analgesics in patients with acute pancreatitis.
