In recent years, the incidence of acute pancreatitis (AP) has been increasing. A better understanding of the etiology is directly linked to more favorable outcomes. Unfortunately, there have been reports suggesting the variation of etiologies of AP across countries. The objective of this study was to determine the etiology of AP in a general hospital of Seoul-Gyeonggi province in Korea during the past decade.
