    Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, with increasing prevalence rates in Japan.

  • 2

    Acute pancreatitis (AP) is more common in IBD patients than in the general population, with an odds ratio of 3.11.

  • 3

    Drug-induced AP is a frequent cause of AP in IBD patients, and duodenal involvement is a risk factor for Crohn's disease.

  • 4

    Type 2 autoimmune pancreatitis has been identified as a cause of AP in ulcerative colitis patients.

  • 5

    The study aims to clarify the clinical characteristics of AP in IBD patients in Japan, as previous large-scale investigations are lacking.
