Continuous regional arterial infusion for acute pancreatitis: a propensity score analysis using a nationwide administrative database

摘要

IntroductionAlthough continuous regional arterial infusion (CRAI) of a protease inhibitor and an antibiotic may be effective in patients with severe acute pancreatitis, CRAI has not yet been validated in large patient populations. We therefore evaluated the effectiveness of CRAI based on data from a national administrative database covering 1,032 Japanese hospitals.
