After a decade of the latest international consensus, the Spanish Association of Gastroenterology (AEG) invited various gastroenterology associations and OPGE specialists from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay, to publish at the beginning of 2023, a consensus to guide clinical practice in Ibero-America on the management of acute pancreatitis.
In 2021 and thanks to the initiative of Dr. Enrique Madaria, President of the Spanish Association of Gastroenterology (AEG), the initiative arose to carry out an Ibero-American Consensus on the management of Acute Pancreatitis, a mission that convened various associations, including: Spanish Association of Gastroenterology, Portuguese Society of Gastroenterology, Inter-American Society of Digestive Endoscopy (SIED) and Pan-American Organization of Gastroenterology (OPGE), with the purpose of developing a consensus that would serve as a guide for clinical practice in the Ibero-American Region.
According to Dr. Carla Mancilla A., OPGE Representative in the Ibero-American Consensus on the Management of Acute Pancreatitis: “Over the course of this year we have worked on the search for highly qualified specialists on the subject and on the development of the methodology that will be used in the consensus. It should be noted that OPGE will have specialists from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay.”
Acute Pancreatitis (AP) is a common disease and within the field of gastroenterology, one of the main causes of hospitalization. In Chile, annual discharges due to PA are close to 10,000 cases. Its severity is variable, being mild in 85% of cases. In these cases, only general management is necessary, prioritizing analgesia and hydration and the subsequent and prompt resolution of the causative pathology, which in most cases corresponds to gallbladder stone disease. However -in the opinion of Mancilla- in the remaining 15% the disease can evolve with serious local or systemic complications, requiring complex management in intensive care units and the use of endoscopic or radiological drainage methods that require hospital discharge. complexity with highly qualified specialists.
The variable characteristics of these patients in a frequent pathology endorse the realization of consensuses that allow guiding medical practices. The latest consensus dates back a decade and experience shows that even in highly complex centers, adherence to the recommendations is partial.
Currently and already defined the methodology of the Ibero-American Consensus for the management of Acute Pancreatitis, the work will begin by commissions with representatives of all the associations that will be in charge of answering specific questions regarding the management of AP based on the best evidence available in the literature. medical. “We hope to have the definitive document by the end of 2022, beginning of 2023. We are certain that this consensus document will represent a great contribution to medical practice in such dissimilar places in Ibero-America where the availability and access to resources can be very different. For On the other hand, we hope to contribute in terms of public health by offering a document that allows rationalizing therapies and the costs derived from them and reinforcing preventive cholecystectomy”, concluded Dr. Carla Mancilla.
The coordinators by Association for Consensus are responsible for the following:
Spanish Association of Gastroenterology: Dr. Enrique de Madaria
Spanish Association of Pancreatology: Dr. Emma Martínez
Portuguese Society of Gastroenterology: Dr. Miguel Bispo and Dr. Pedro Moutinho
SIED: Dr. Rodrigo Mansilla
OPGE: Dr. Carla Mancilla

Organized by the Chilean Society of Gastroenterology (SCHGE), the Chilean Association of Digestive Endoscopy (ACHED), the Inter-American Society of Digestive Endoscopy (SIED) and the Pan-American Organization of Gastroenterology (OPGE), with the sponsorship of the National Autonomous Certification Corporation of Medical Specialties (CONACEM); on August 1 begins the 2nd Course of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Endoscopic Techniques of Upper Digestive Endoscopy.
The course will last 23 academic hours and has 4 modules with scheduled dates for August 1, August 8, August 29 and September 5. The modality is entirely telematic and online.
Dr. Raúl Araya, a member of the Organizing Committee, states that this course is born from the success that the first course had in 2017 at a national and Latin American level. “At the time it was a contribution and we consider it an opportunity to develop this continuing education activity.This course has also allowed the integration and coordination of all the societies and associations already mentioned, which contributed as part of their objectives, with professionals and professors who pour their experience and updates under evidence in various conferences and classes “The main objective is to help with these tools in the training and education of gastroenterologists, surgeons and scholars, in diagnostic and therapeutic techniques of the upper digestive tract. For these reasons, we have great expectations and hope that the objectives set will be met,” he pointed out. .
On September 26, interesting SIED-OPGE conferences will also be given, such as: Be careful with the duodenum! Tips in the diagnosis and therapy of the duodenum, by Dr. Vitor Arantes (Brazil); Management of cystic lesions of the pancreas and pancreatic cancer, by Dr. Edson Guzmán (Peru); Diagnosis and treatment of early gastric cancer, by Dr. Miguel Ángel Tanimoto (Mexico); and State of the art in upper gastrointestinal bleeding, in diagnosis and therapy, by Dr. William Otero (Colombia).
Finally, on October 3, a Round Table on Ethics and Upper Endoscopy will be held, with the participation of Dr. María Ester Bufadel (Chile), Dr. Pablo Cortés (Chile) and Dr. Luis Caro (Argentina).

Latin American experts applied an exhaustive evaluation of the range of diagnostic methods for this disease, which shows an increase in its incidence at a global and regional level, given the rise in rates of obesity and population aging. The consensus was recently published by the Revista Acta Gastroenterológica Latinoamericana.
With the support of the Pan American Gastroenterology Organization (OPGE), the American Society of Neurogastroenterology and Motility (ANMS) and several Latin American Gastroenterology Scientific Societies (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Mexico) that appear in the writing, recently The Latin American Consensus on the Diagnosis of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) was published in the prestigious Journal Acta Gastroenterológica Latinoamericana.
The publication was made possible thanks to the hard work of a renowned group of Latin American experts and based on an exhaustive analysis of the best available evidence, and used the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) methodology, which allowed evaluating the quality of the evidence of 23 questions that cover the full range of diagnostic methods for GERD.
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a highly prevalent disorder in our region and its incidence has been increasing in recent years, along with the increase in overweight/obesity and the increase in population age. This pathology generates a deterioration in the quality of life of patients and important health expenses, being one of the most frequent reasons for consultation in gastroenterological clinical practice and its diagnosis is sometimes difficult.
According to Dr. Jorge Olmos, Head of the Neurogastroenterology section of the Hospital de Clínicas José de San Martín, University of Buenos Aires (Argentina), “Through significant technological advances in recent years, we have contributed to the development of an important improvement, both in the understanding of the physiopathogenic mechanisms as well as the diagnosis of GERD. We consider it of great importance that clinicians and gastroenterologists who treat this condition have knowledge of the appropriate use, correct interpretation, performance and limitations of diagnostic tests” .
In the same vein, Dr. Marcelo Vela, professor of medicine, Section of Esophageal Disorders, Director of the Advanced Residency in Diseases of the Esophagus, Mayo Clinic, Arizona (United States); He pointed out that “The strength of the recommendation of each body, included in this consensus, was submitted to the vote of the group of experts in a meeting centralized in the Argentine Society of Gastroenterology. We hope that this document will be useful in the practice of our specialty, in the countries of our region”.
