Abstract Background  Literature on acute pancreatitis (AP) outcomes in patients with cirrhosis is limited. We aim to investigate the mortality and morbidity of AP in patients with cirrhosis. Methods  We conducted a retrospective cohort study, and propensity score matching was done to match cirrhotic with noncirrhotic patients on a 1:2 basis. Outcomes included inpatient mortality, organs failure, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and length of hospital stay. We performed subgroup analysis of cirrhotics according to Child–Pugh and MELD scores. Multivariable logistic regression models were tested. Results  From 819 AP patients, cirrhosis prevalence was 4.9% (40). There was no significant difference between cirrhotics and non-cirrhotics for inpatient mortality (7.5% vs. 1.3%, p = 0.1), severe AP (17.5% vs. 7.5%), shock (7.9% vs. 3%), respiratory failure (10% vs. 3.8%), need for intensive care unit (15% vs. 6.3%), systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) on admission (22.5% vs. 32.5%), and SIRS on day 2 (25% vs. 15%). Cirrhotics had similar rates of pancreatic necrosis, ileus, BISAP score, Marshall score, admission hematocrit, BUN, and hospital length of stay. Finally, cirrhotics who had severe AP, required ICU, and/or die in-hospital appeared to have more severe liver diseases (Child-C, higher MELD score > 17) and had lower AP severity scores (BISAP
