Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

This is a single centre, hospital based, randomised control trial to determine the effect of low molecular weight heparin (enoxaparin) on outcome of moderately severe and severe acute pancreatitis. Study period was two years. Patients of acute pancreatitis meeting the selection criteria were randomized to control group and trial group with 70 patients in each group. Control group receives conventional treatment for acute pancreatitis and control group received enoxaparin 1mg/kg body weight in addition to the conventional treatment for 7 days. CT scans were done on day0 and day8 of the treatment and other investigations were done as per standard protocol. Data was recorded in systematic proforma and the outcomes of both the groups are compared. the primary outcome was pancreatic necrosis and secondary outcomes compared were clinical wellbeing, local and systemic complications, need for interventions and mortality during the current episode of acute pancreatitis. Use of LMWH in early stage of moderately-severe and severe acute pancreatitis had significant positive impact on all the parameters that were assessed.
