Summary:Pancreatic injury is considered an organ-related complication in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, it is unclear whether COVID-19 status affects pancreatic injury. This retrospective study aimed to determine whether COVID-19 affects the occurrence of pancreatic injuries. Consecutive patients diagnosed with sepsis admitted to the ICU between March 2020 and September 2021 were included. The primary endpoint was a pancreatic injury, which was defined as amylase or lipase levels > 3 times the upper limit of the normal range. Among the 177 patients included in the analysis, 40 (23%) were COVID-19 patients, and 54 (31%) had pancreatic injuries. Of these three patients, acute pancreatitis was diagnosed based on computed tomography. The pancreatic injury was significantly more common among COVID-19 patients (75 vs. 18%, p
