Acute Pancreatitis, Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome
Conditions
Keywords
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, indomethacin
Brief summary
Acute pancreatitis is a common critical disease of the digestive system. Accumulated data showed that overexpression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in acute pancreatitis and experimental pancreatitis could be attenuated with COX-2 inhibitors. In recent years, it has been found that timely administration of indomethacin or diclofenac sodium to anus after ERCP can significantly reduce the incidence of AP after ERCP in patients at high risk of AP. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of rectal indomethacin in reducing the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) score in AP patients.
Interventions
Besides the conventional treatment, indomethacin will be given to the patients in the convention + indomethacin group.
All enrolled patients received conventional management according to AP guidelines of International Association of Pancreatology and the Chinese Society of Gastroenterology, including goal-directed fluid resuscitation, oxygen supply even mechanical ventilation, and nutritional support if necessary.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Systemic inflammatory response syndrome(SIRS) score at 72 hours after the initial intervention. | 72 hours after the initial intervention. | The minimum value of SIRS is 0, and the maximum value of SIRS is 4. The higher score means a worse outcome. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| the serum levels of C-reactive protein(CRP) | 72 hours after the initial intervention. | The normal range of CRP is 0-10mg/L, and the higher value means a worse outcome. |
| the serum levels of interleukin-6(IL-6) | 72 hours after the initial intervention. | The normal range of IL-6 is 0-7pg/ml, and the higher value means a worse outcome. |
| score of abdominal pain | 72 hours after the initial intervention. | The range of score of abdominal pain is 0-10, and the higher value means a worse outcome. |
