The process of data collection was started after obtaining ethical approval from institutional review committee (IRC) of PAHS, and written informed consent was obtained from patients. Total sampling was done and 66 patients were enrolled into the study, who were diagnosed as acute biliary pancreatitis. Data was analyzed with SPSS ver 25 and Microsoft excel 2016. Results: Out of total 66 patients in the study 25 (37.9%) were male and 41 (62.1%) were female with male: female ratio of 1:1.64. Mean age was 48.42±16.62 years. ranging from 16-88 years. Epigastric abdominal pain was predominant presenting symptoms accounting for 57 (86.4%) cases. Pleural effusion was most common complication seen in 17 (25.8%) cases. Mortality occurs in 2 (3%) cases, both of cases had severe pancreatitis. Only 21 (31.8%) patients underwent cholecystectomy among which 13 (19.7%) interval and 8 (12.1%) index cholecystectomy.
