Core Tip	Computed tomography derived analytic morphomics provide objective measures of body composition that can be extracted from routine imaging in acute pancreatitis. In this retrospective cohort with 10-year follow-up, higher skeletal muscle density and greater subcutaneous fat area were independently associated with reduced short- and long-term mortality, while other morphomic parameters assessed were not predictive of recurrence on multivariate analysis. These findings suggest that integrating computed tomography-based morphomic metrics with established clinical scoring systems may improve prognostic assessment in acute pancreatitis.
