Its mortality largely depends on disease severity, with severe cases having a mortality rate of up to 50%. Despite the potential for severe progression and the associated high morbidity and mortality, no specific treatment is currently available for routine use in acute pancreatitis. Precision medicine offers a promising approach, aiming to identify and apply personalized treatment strategies that can effectively reduce the burden of this disease on patients and healthcare systems.
