We showed that the prevalence of peripancreatic stranding or fluid collection is higher in patients diagnosed with COVID-19 infection compared to an age- and gender-matched cohort. Patients with pancreatic injury and elevated amylase levels are more likely to require orotracheal intubation. Our findings corroborate the link between COVID-19 infection and pancreatic injury from the perspective of imaging.
