Guidelines for integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine diagnosis and treatment of severe acute pancreatitis
Severe acute pancreatitis(SAP)is characterized by rapid onset and progression,complex clinicopathological changes,and a mortality rate of as high as 20%—30%.Long-term clinical practice and basic research have shown that relying solely on Western medicine for the treatment of SAP may not achieve satisfactory outcomes,and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy has a marked clinical effect and significant advantages.Based on evidence-based medicine and with reference to related guidelines and clinical practice in China and globally,these guidelines summarize 28 clinical questions after widely soliciting opinions and suggestions from experts.This document specifically elaborates on the etiology,pathogenesis,and diagnostic criteria of SAP,as well as the key points of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine typing,disease staging,treatment methods,and therapies,so as to standardize the integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine diagnostic criteria and treatment principles of SAP.
