In a prospective study of 50 children who were admitted on more than one occasion with undiagnosed abdominal pain, the serum amylase was found to be normal in every case. One case of acute pancreatitis was diagnosed in over 8000 admissions. Serum amylase estimation did not contribute to the management of children with recurrent abdominal pain, and acute pancreatitis is so rare that routine amylase estimations cannot be recommended in paediatric surgical practice.
在一项针对50名多次因不明原因腹痛入院的儿童的前瞻性研究中，发现每例患儿的血清淀粉酶均正常。在超过8000例入院病例中仅诊断出1例急性胰腺炎。血清淀粉酶测定对复发性腹痛患儿的治疗并无帮助，而且急性胰腺炎极为罕见，因此在小儿外科实践中不建议进行常规的淀粉酶测定。
