About this study

Official title: Natural Course and Therapeutic Effect of Recurrent Acute Pancreatitis: a Prospective Cohort Study

The goal of this observational cohort study is to learn about the etiology, natural course, therapeutic effect and outcome of recurrent acute pancreatitis patients. The main question it aims to answer is:

Does endoscopic intervention, surgery or conservative treatment reduce the recurrence of acute pancreatitis? What are the risk factors affecting the recurrence of acute pancreatitis?

Patients will be closely followed and clinical information will be recorded.

Read the detailed description

Acute pancreatitis is one of the most common causes of acute hospital admission, which is unpredictable and contributes to high health-care costs even death. Recurrent acute pancreatitis is defined as two or more discrete episodes of acute pancreatitis, and has an estimated annual incidence of 8-10 per 100 000. Cholelithiasis, alcohol and Hyperglyceremia are the most commonly recognized causes of acute pancreatitis. About 80% of RAP patients can be identified through routine investigations identify (include proper history, physical examination, CT, MRI, endoscopic ultrasound); however, in up to 20% of cases whose cause remains unclear are known as idiopathic RAP. For RAP patients with clear cause, removal of the cause can effectively reduce or prevent recurrence. For patients with idiopathic RAP, the treatment options are not clear and have been subject to debate. At present, the natural course, outcome and therapeutic effect of RAP is still not clear. Therefore, the prospective cohort can clarify the clinical characteristics of RAP more comprehensively and deeply and to accumulate evidence for treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Recurrence rate of acute pancreatitis

    Acute pancreatitis is diagnosed according to the revised Atlanta classification, which requires 2 of the 3 following criteria: (1) abdominal pain suggestive of pancreatitis, (2) serum amylase and/or lipase greater than 3 times the upper limit of normal, (3) and crosssectional imaging (CT or MRI) findings consistent with acute pancreatitis.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Proportion of patients with different treatment

    Treatment mainly contains conservative treatment, surgery, endoscopic intervention, etc. Collect relevant data through medical record.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. Characteristics of acute pancreatitis

    Collect relevant data through medical record. Characteristics of acute pancreatitis includ etiology, frequency, severity and length of hospital.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  3. Proportion of patients wtih pain in RAP patients

    Collect relevant data through pain assessment scales which include severity, frequency, time of duration and other characteristics of pancreatic pain.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 3 year

  4. Proportion of patients with chronic pancreatitis

    Proportion of patients who developed chronic pancreatitis.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 3 year

  5. Evaluation of quality of life

    The level of quality of life in RAP patients is measured using the SF-36.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 3 year

  6. Evaluation of psychological condition

    The psychological condition of RAP patients is measured using DASS-21.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 3 year
