Background: The incidence of hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) has been increasing recently. Plasmapheresis can effectively remove triglyceride(TG) from plasma, but its clinical value in HTG-AP is unclear due to the lack of solid evidence…

Germline genetic testing is recommended for younger patients with idiopathic pancreatitis, but there is no consensus recommendation for those over age 35. We aimed to analyze the results of genetic testing for pancreatic genetic mutations using a large dataset including all ages…

Diabetes mellitus (DM) and prediabetes are common complications of acute pancreatitis (AP) and have aroused general concern in recent years. The underlying mechanisms need to be addressed…

BACKGROUND Chronic pancreatitis (CP) may severely impact quality of life (QoL). Since CP is a chronic condition, multiple assessments of QoL are required to obtain a thorough understanding of its impact on patients. Such studies are currently lacking…

Lack of an accurate prognostic tool for acute pancreatitis (AP) remains a critical knowledge gap. Machine learning (ML) techniques have been used to develop high-performing prognostic models in AP. However, methodologic quality has received little attention…

Background: Cyst fluid glucose (CFG) is increasingly being used in the differentiation of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs)…

BACKGROUND: Exocrine Pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) occurs following acute pancreatitis (AP) at variably reported rates, secondary to combination of suspected impairment in pancreatic enzyme secretion and damage to the pancreatic acinar cells…
