About

The goal of this observational study is to establish a prospective cohort of chronic pancreatitis (CP) patients to provide evidence-based guidance for clinical practice and comprehensively optimize diagnostic and treatment strategies. The study aims to collect detailed demographic information, clinical data, medical imaging, biological samples, and follow-up information from CP patients.

Full description

Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is clinically characterized by abdominal pain and pancreatic dysfunction, including diabetes and steatorrhea, which significantly impact patients' quality of life and life expectancy. Globally, the annual incidence of CP is 9.62 per 100,000 individuals, with a mortality rate of 0.09 per 100,000 and a prevalence ranging from 13.5 to 560 per 100,000. In China, the prevalence of CP has also been increasing annually, currently reaching 13.52 per 100,000 individuals. In most countries worldwide, the incidence and prevalence of CP are generally on the rise, leading to an increasing healthcare burden. Due to the endocrine and exocrine functions of the pancreas, CP presents with highly variable clinical symptoms, diverse complications, and a risk of malignant transformation. Therefore, establishing a standardized, large-scale, long-term follow-up prospective cohort for CP is crucial for a more comprehensive understanding of its clinical characteristics and for providing high-quality evidence-based medical guidance for clinical practice.
