Nationwide trends in acute and chronic pancreatitis among privately insured children and non-elderly adults in the United States, 2007–2014
Gastroenterology Apr 21, 2018
Sellers ZM, et al. - Authors sought to scrutinize the current and accurate incidences of acute and chronic pancreatitis (AP and CP), along with the prevalence of CP, using data from the Truven MarketScan Research Databases of commercial inpatient and outpatient insurance claims in the United States from 2007 through 2014 (patients 0-64 years old). It was determined that the prevalence of pediatric and adult CP was 5.8/100,000 persons and 91.9/100,000 persons, respectively in 2014. Findings demonstrated that changes in gallstone formation, smoking, and alcohol consumption, along with advances in pancreatitis management, could be the reason for the stabilization and even decrease in the incidences of AP and CP.
