SEVERE ACUTE PANCREATITIS (SAP) IS A SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEM GIVEN ITS HIGH COSTS AND INCREASED MORTALITY. OVER TIME, MULTIPLE CLINICAL FACTORS, BIOLOGICAL CONSTANTS, PROGNOSIS SCORES HAVE BEEN VALIDATED TO ESTABLISH THE PROGNOSIS IN ACUTE PANCREATITIS (AP). WE CONDUCTED A RETROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY OF PATIENTS WITH SEVERE ACUTE PANCREATITIS ADMITTED TO THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT (ICU) OF THE BUCHAREST UNIVERSITY EMERGENCY HOSPITAL DURING 2016-2021. WE ANALYZED ORGAN FAILURES AND MORTALITY IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY PROGNOSTIC FACTORS FOR SEVERTY. 86 PACIENTS WERE INCLUDED.THE OVERALL MORTALITY WAS 52.3% AND SERUM UREA AND CREATININE VALUES AT 48 HOURS AFTER ADMISSION WERE THE BEST LABORATORY PREDICTORS FOR MORTALITY..

THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC FORCED US TO LIVE IN A UNIQUE SITUATION IN 2020, A SITUATION THAT HAS NOT ENDED YET. THE ADAPTATION WAS MADE INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY, TO THE NEW CONDITIONS RESULTING FROM THE SPECIAL AND UNPRECEDENTED EPIDEMIOLOGICAL MEASURES TAKEN. HOSPITALS HAVE BEEN FUNDAMENTALLY RESTRUCTURED WITH THE RESTRICTION OF HOSPITALIZATION CAPACITY TO MEET THE NEED FOR ISOLATION OF HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS, EACH BEING A POTENTIAL SUSPECT AT RISK OF CONTAMINATING OTHERS. A COMPARATIVE STUDY, OVER SYMMETRICAL PERIODS OF TIME, DURING AND BEFORE THE PANDEMIC THAT REFLECTS THE CHANGE IN THE NUMBER OF HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS AND THEIR PATHOLOGY. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

THE SARS-COV-2 VIRUS WAS THE NEGATIVE "REVELATION" OF 2020. IN ADDITION TO THE POLYMORPHISM OF CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS (RESPIRATORY, DIGESTIVE, CUTANEOUS, ASSOCIATED COAGULATION DISORDERS, CARDIOVASCULAR MANIFESTATIONS, ANOSMIA, AGEUZIA, ETC.) IS EMERGING RETROSPECTIVELY, MORE AND MORE PSYCHIC REPERCUSSIONS WITH IMPLICATIONS STILL UNKNOWN IN THE FUTURE. THE UNPRECEDENTED STATE OF ISOLATION SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE PANDEMIC HAS MEANT A LACK OF INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS. THE CHILDREN, FOR EXTRA PROTECTION, WERE SENT TO THEIR GRANDPARENTS. THERE WERE VARIOUS BEHAVIORAL DISORDERS FROM: INTERNALIZATION, OPPOSITION REACTIONS, AGGRESSION, ACQUIRED AUTOMATISMS, STUTTERING, ETC. IN MOST CASES THE DISORDERS WERE OBSERVED BY FAMILY OR CLOSE ENTOURAGE. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
