“…SF-12, SF-36, EORTC QLQ C-30, and GIQLI have all been proved useful. SF-12 is easier and more rapid than other tools, and gives the same information as SF-36 and EORTC QLQ C-30 [66]. However, it should be stressed that all questionnaires refer only to the month before completion of the questionnaire.…”

This paper gives practical guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of chronic pancreatitis. Statements have been elaborated by working teams of experts, by searching for and analysing the literature, and submitted to a consensus process by using a Delphi modified procedure. The statements report recommendations on clinical and nutritional approach, assessment of pancreatic function, treatment of exocrine pancreatic failure and of secondary diabetes, treatment of pain and prevention of painful relapses. Moreover, the role of endoscopy in approaching pancreatic pain, pancreatic stones, duct narrowing and dilation, and complications was considered. Recommendations for most appropriate use of various imaging techniques and of ultrasound endoscopy are reported. Finally, a group of recommendations are addressed to the surgical treatment, with definition of right indications, timing, most appropriate procedures and techniques in different clinical conditions and targets, and clinical and functional outcomes following surgery. © 2010 Editrice Gastroenterologica Italiana S.r.l

“…However, the data reported by the Indian researchers (60% were idiopathic forms of chronic pancreatitis) need to be re-evaluated. In this regard, it is worth noting that the frequency of chronic pancreatitis of unknown origin was 17% in the Italian survey [43] ranging from about 12% in Bologna to 38% in Sicily [44,45] .…”

“…However, some regional differences regarding the frequency of alcoholic chronic pancreatitis exist in Italy. In fact, in Bologna (located in Northern Italy), alcohol as an etiological factor remains high (80.4%) [44] , whereas in Sicily (located in Southern Italy), the percentage of alcoholic chronic pancreatitis is about 60% [45] . In a survey of chronic pancreatitis in Italy [43] , alcohol as an etiological factor of chronic pancreatitis is followed by obstruction (27%), pancreatitis of unknown origin (17%), autoimmunity (4%) and hereditary/genetic factors (4%).…”

T h e e v i d e n c e f r o m r e c e n t s u r ve y s o n c h r o n i c pancreatitis carried out around the world shows that alcohol remains the main factor associated with chronic pancreatitis, even if at a frequency lower than that reported previously. It has further confirmed that heavy alcohol consumption and smoking are independent risk factors for chronic pancreatitis. Autoimmune pancreatitis accounts for 2%-4% of all forms of chronic pancreatitis, but this frequency will probably increase over the next few years. The rise in idiopathic chronic pancreatitis, especially in India, represents a black hole in recently published surveys. Despite the progress made so far regarding the possibility of establishing the hereditary forms of chronic pancreatitis and the recognition of autoimmune pancreatitis, it is possible that we are more inaccurate today than in the past in identifying the factors associated with chronic pancreatitis in our patients.

“…We also evaluated the role of the information given by both the SF-12 Health Survey and the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaires, and we determined which of these two questionnaires could be considered more efficacious in describing the quality of life of 163 consecutive patients with proven chronic pancreatitis in clinical practice [31]. We found that pancreatic pain was the only clinical variable capable of significantly impairing the SF-12 Health Survey component summaries as well as all the domains of the EORTC QLQ-C30 while body mass index was positively related to the PCS-12 and to the domains of the EORTC QLQ-C30.…”

The patient's overall well-being and ability to function is one of the measures capable of quantifying the impact of disease and treatment. Health-related quality of life, as subjectively perceived by the patient, is becoming a major issue in the evaluation of any therapeutic intervention, mainly in patients with chronic diseases. In this paper, the literature regarding the well-being of patients with pancreatic diseases, both acute and chronic, and of patients who undergo surgery for their benign or malignant pancreatic disease will be reviewed. The conclusions that can be drawn from the studies reviewed are that the quality of life should be routinely assessed for evaluating patients with pancreatic diseases.
