(1) Introduction: One of the most common causes of acute pancreatitis is cholelithiasis, which is considered to be associated with female sex, older age, and recurrence. Our aim was to define a group of patients with B-AP to facilitate their diagnosis and management, while more judiciously using medical resources. (2) Materials and Methods: This retrospective, large cohort study, which was conducted by extracting data from the BUC-API registry, consisted of 1855 cases between 1 June 2015 and 1 April 2022. Each admission of the same patient was considered a separate case if it did not have signs of chronic pancreatitis. Severity and morphology were stratified according to the Revised Atlanta Classification. (3) Results: A total of 732 cases of B-AP were analyzed, with 92.5% occurring at the first attack. The median age was 65 years, with 61.9% of the patients being female. The majority (82.2%) were surgical cases, and the length of stay (LoS) was 7 days. There were 10.2% severe cases, with a mortality rate of 4%. (4) Discussion: We found positive associations between sex, age, recurrence, and morphology and biliary etiology. Compared with the general population, female sex and age over 65 years correlate better with a biliary etiology. In most scenarios, patients suffer from first attacks, with a lower probability of developing local complications. There was a tendency for biliary pancreatitis patients to be admitted to surgical wards.
