The incidence and prevalence of chronic pancreatitis is rising and no curative treatment is available. Using novel diagnostic algorithms, definitive chronic pancreatitis can be diagnosed by imaging criteria alone, whereas probable chronic pancreatitis requires clinical features and imaging criteria.

24 sty 2023 · Lower 10-year survival rate: A study of 493 patients who had surgery for chronic pancreatitis over 20 years — the largest study to date evaluating long-term survival in patients who have had surgery for chronic pancreatitis — found a high (95.5%) 1-year survival rate among patients but much lower (63.5%) 10-year survival rate.
Prospective investigations on long-term outcomes in chronic pancreatitis are scarce. Thus, we aimed to assess long-term survival, causes of death and impact of risk factors on survival in a cohort of surgically managed patients with chronic pancreatitis.
2 mar 2022 · The annual incidence of chronic pancreatitis in the United States ranges from 5 to 8 per 100,000 adults, and the prevalence ranges from 42 to 73 per 100,000 adults. 5 Risk factors...
Surgery is usually reserved as a last resource when medical and endoscopic therapy have failed. Pancreatic surgery is burdened with non negligible morbidity and mortality but is effective in reducing pain and improving quality of life in chronic pancratitis with long lasting effects.
At the end of 24 months of follow-up, complete or partial pain relief was achieved in 32% of patients who underwent endoscopic drainage vs 75% of patients assigned to surgical drainage (P = 0.007). Complication rates, length of stay, and changes in pancreatic function were similar between the treatment groups.
Acute pancreatitis can become chronic if pancreatic tissue sustains damage and scarring occurs. About 5% of patients need long-term treatment. For people with chronic pancreatitis, this can mean a lifetime of ongoing pain, nausea, and other gastrointestinal symptoms.
