Modern methodological approaches to therapeutic and diagnostic process for acute pancreatitis (scientific review)
The purpose of this review was to generalize and systematize the methodological and organizational approaches that have developed at present in diagnosis and treatment of acute pancreatitis. We conducted a systematic search on Ovid MEDLINE (http://www.ovid.com/site/catalog/ DataBase/901.jsp), EMBASE (http://www.embase.com/), CINAHL (http://www.ebscohost.com/ cinahl/), Web of Science (www.isiknowledge.com/), ETOH (http://etoh.niaaa.nih.gov/) and AIM (http://www.aim-digest.com/gateway/m%20index.htm) to research epidemiological studies conducted in foreign countries and published from January 2008 to January 2018, which considered current issues of treatment and diagnostic organization for acute pancreatitis. The search was carried out using any combination of keywords: acute pancreatitis, organization, therapeutic and diagnostic process, severity assessment, methodological approaches, severity classifications, evaluation scales. In addition, we manually reviewed the content pages of the main epidemiological journals and lists of links to relevant publications in review articles. A database of 142 units from literary and information sources was created. The final analysis included 52 sources that reflect the methodological aspects of the treatment and diagnostic process for acute pancreatitis.
