The effects of genetic factors on pregnancy outcomes in chronic pancreatitis (CP) patients remain unclear. We evaluated the impacts of clinical features and mutations in main CP-susceptibility genes (SPINK1, PRSS1, CTRC, CFTR) on pregnancy outcomes in Chinese CP patients.
METHODS:
This was a prospective cohort study with 14-year follow-up. The sample comprised female CP patients with documented pregnancy and known genetic backgrounds. Advers… Show more
