Respiratory disfunction not completely stratified.

2

Cases are signaled with when coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) diagnosis was established on the admission for acute pancreatitis (AP).

3

Only one patient had diagnoses of AP.

4

COVID-19 diagnosis made 62 d after AP onset.

5

COVID-19 diagnosis made 34 d after AP onset.

6

COVID-19 diagnosis made 91 d after AP onset.

7

When presented to ED with AP (1 wk previously he was diagnosed with COVID-19, but no medical history is given).

8

The patient was readmitted 1 wk after the initial episode. In both, he had a mild course with favorable evolution under conservative management.

9

COVID-19 diagnosis established 14 d earlier to AP episode.

10

On the 2nd readmission due to autoimmune pancreatitis.

11

COVID-19 diagnosis established 1 wk before AP admission.

12

COVID-19 diagnosis after AP admission.

13

One patient without evidence of AP.

14

Gastrointestinal symptoms present on readmission, but not on initial admission with COVID-19 complicated by streptococcal pneumonia.

15

AP diagnosis established after COVID-19 diagnosis.

16

AP diagnosis established 11 d after initial COVID-19 disease (on the 7th day of admission).
