AP-related complications
SECONDARY
The current study protocol has 2 working hypotheses:home monitoring is effective and safe for managing mild AP.home monitoring is not inferior to hospitalization for managing mild AP.Our main objective is to assess the efficacy of home monitoring compared to in-hospital care for mild AP.Our secondary objectives are:To assess the safety of home monitoring by estimating the incidence of AP-related complications during the first 30 days after diagnosis.To study the readmission rate during the first 30 days after diagnosis.To estimate the incidence of mortality at 30 days.To assess the quality of life (QoL).To study treatment-related costs.
