Özet

Aim of the study: Obesity is a well-determined risk factor for acute pancreatitis. Increased visceral fat has been shown to increase the proinflammatory environment experienced by patients. In this study, we aimed to research the correlation between abdominal fat distribution parameters measured with computed tomography (CT) and severity of acute pancreatitis (AP).
