Aim: The primary aim of this study is to determine compliance with key quality performance indicators (QPIs) for the management of acute pancreatitis. The secondary aim is to examine the relationship between compliance to QPIs and clinical outcomes with factors that influence this. Methods: This prospective cohort study will be conducted via the trainee-led STRATA collaborative network. All public hospitals in Aotearoa New Zealand will be eligible to participate. Data will be collected on all adult patients who are diagnosed with acute pancreatitis over a 3 month period. The primary outcome is compliance with the QPIs for the different domains of acute pancreatitis management. Secondary outcomes include early (30-days from index admission) clinical outcomes including incidence of locoregional complications, interventions, organ failure, and mortality. Conclusion: This protocol describes the methodology for a nationwide prospective cohort study in Aotearoa New Zealand to evaluate compliance based on QPIs derived from the literature. These data will lay the foundation for future registry studies, clinical trials, and quality improvement initiatives.
