This is a retrospective chart review study examining 1) demographic data such as age, sex, etiology of pancreatitis 2) clinical data including radiological characteristics of walled off pancreatic necrosis, walled off necrosis related admissions and readmission following endoscopic drainage, surgical or percutaneous procedures performed for the management of walled off pancreatic necrosis, and clinical outcomes following treatment of WON (including hospital readmissions, WON resolution, procedure complications, WON related death) 3) endoscopy data including indication for initial endoscopic drainage and subsequent endoscopic procedures performed for management of walled off necrosis (including additional EGD's, endoscopic drainage procedures, and/or necrosectomy)

Identify WON imaging characteristics on cat-scan
Characteristics on cat-scan that are predictive of requiring multiple endoscopic procedures, percutaneous drainage, and/or surgical intervention for management of walled off pancreatic necrosis
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 260 days
Endoscopic course (total number and type of endoscopic treatments required for resolution of walled off necrosis, occurrence of treatment related complications)
Imaging classification method to efficiently report these imaging characteristics
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 260 days
Clinical course (number of hospital readmissions during treatment, rates of walled off necrosis resolution, rates of walled off necrosis related death)
Characteristics to develop a predictive model that will help to identify patients at high risk for requiring multiple endoscopic procedures, percutaneous drainage, and/or surgical intervention for management of walled off pancreatic necrosis.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 260 days
