About this study

This study will investigate the status of fatigue, psychological comorbidity and quality of life among patients with chronic pancreatitis in China and analyze their influencing factors.

Read the detailed description

Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is an inflammatory disease characterized by pancreatic fibrosis. Available studies suggested that the incidence of CP in China was about 13.5 per 100,000 people. Patients with CP often have symptoms of pancreatic endocrine and exocrine insufficiency such as elevated blood sugar, weight loss, muscle loss, combined with complications such as pancreatic duct stones, pancreatic duct stenosis, pancreatic pseudocysts, and have a higher risk of pancreatic cancer, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients.

Psychological comorbidities represented by anxiety and depression were thought to be widespread in CP patients, with available epidemiological studies indicating that the prevalence of anxiety and depression in CP patients in the United States was 36.8% and 46.8%, respectively. In addition, fatigue, as a subjective perception of decreased ability to perform physical and/or intellectual tasks, has also been founded among CP patients.

However, to date, there is a lack of epidemiological studies on fatigue, anxiety, depression and quality of life in Chinese patients with CP. This study will investigate the epidemiological status of fatigue, anxiety, depression, and quality of life in Chinese patients with CP and analyze the factors influencing them.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The incidence of fatigue among patients with CP in China.

    The level of fatigue in CP patients was measured using the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI-20), and the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS).

    Measured: Within 1 month after data analysis.

  2. The incidence of anxiety among patients with CP in China.

    The level of anxiety in CP patients is measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS).

    Measured: Within 1 month after data analysis.

  3. The incidence of depression among patients with CP in China.

    The level of anxiety in CP patients is measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the Zung Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS).

    Measured: Within 1 month after data analysis.

  4. The incidence of quality of life among patients with CP in China.
