Key Points

To identify risk factors for systemic complications and mortality in elderly patients with acute pancreatitis.
Retrospective cohort study of 401 patients with acute pancreatitis.
Categorized patients by age: younger than 65 and aged 65 and older.
Performed multivariate logistic regression analyses to identify predictors of complications and mortality.
50.1% of patients were aged 65 years or older.
Elderly patients showed higher rates of diabetes (32.3% vs. 9.0%) and hypertension (75.1% vs. 15.5%).
Systemic complications were more common in elderly patients (39.3% vs. 25.5%, p = 0.003).
Age ≥65 years and presence of diabetes were independent predictors of systemic complications.
