Table 1 Characteristics of the study population

Parameters
Median (IQR) age (yr)	54 (50-67)
Male patients, n (%)	20 (80)
Contrast-enhanced CT, n (%)	23 (92)
Median (IQR) No. of PPCs
Necrosis without pus	2 (1-2)
Necrosis with pus	1 (1-2)
Fluid without necrosis	1 (1-3)
Infected PPC, n (%)	12 (48)
OF in patients with PPC
Total, n (%)	19 (76)
Persistent OF (> 48 h), n (%)	15 (60)
Multiple OF, n (%)	2 (8)
Mortality, n (%)	3 (12)

NB: Two patients in the group with necrosis and pus did not have a contrast injection prior to computed tomography scan due to renal failure. PPC: Peripancreatic collections; OF: Organ failure.
