Morphologic Severity of Acute Pancreatitis on Imaging Is Independently Associated with Opioid Dose Requirements in Hospitalized Patients

Prior studies have evaluated clinical characteristics associated with opioid dose requirements in hospitalized patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) but did not incorporate morphologic findings on CT imaging. We sought to determine whether morphologic severity on imaging is independently associated with opioid dose requirements in AP. Adult inpatients with a diagnosis of AP from 2006 to 2017 were reviewed. The highest modified CT severity index...
