title: [Causes of fatal outcomes in acute pancreatitis].
abstract: An analysis of case histories of 142 patients dead from acute pancreatitis has been made. The most frequent cause of death at early terms was the syndrome of endogenous intoxication and bleeding from upper portions of the gastro-intestinal tract. Death at later terms was usually caused by pyo-septic complications and arrosive bleedings. It was established that in the recent years acute pancreatitis made its appearance against the background of chronic inflammatory alterations in the pancreas.
