Data on aetiology, clinical course, and analgesic treatment were collected. The primary outcome was the association between opioid analgesia and acute pancreatitis severity, which was analysed using univariate and multivariate analyses.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Among a total of 1768 patients, included from 118 centres across 27 countries, 1036 (59%) had opioids administered on admission day, and 167 (9%) received opioids after admission day. On univariate analysis, moderately severe or severe acute pancreatitis was associated with male sex, Asian ethnicity, alcohol aetiology, comorbidity, predicted severe acute pancreatitis, higher pain scores, longer pain duration and opioid treatment (all <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001). On multivariate analysis, comorbidity, alcohol aetiology, longer pain duration and higher pain scores increased the risk of moderately severe or severe acute pancreatitis (all <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001). Furthermore, opioids administered after admission day (but not on admission day) doubled the risk of moderately severe or severe disease (OR 2.07 (95% CI, 1.29\u20133.33); <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.003). Opioid treatment for 6\u00a0days or more was an independent risk factor for moderately severe or severe acute pancreatitis (OR 3.21 (95% CI, 2.16\u20134.79; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001). On univariate analysis, longer opioid duration was associated with mortality.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Opioid treatment increased the risk of more severe acute pancreatitis only when administered after admission day or for 6\u00a0days or more.
