The ultimate reason why pancreatologists have strived to establish definitions for inflammatory pathologies of the pancreas is to improve patient care. Although the Atlanta Classification has been used for around for 17 years, considerable misunderstanding of the key elements of the nomenclature still persists. While a recent article by Stamatakos et al aimed to deal with an entity not clearly defined in the 1993 document, it is replete with factual and conceptual errors as well as contradictory statements.
胰腺病学家之所以努力为胰腺炎症性病变建立定义,其根本原因是为了改善患者的治疗效果。尽管亚特兰大分类法已经使用了大约 17 年,但对命名法的关键要素仍存在相当大的误解。尽管 Stamatakos 等人最近的一篇文章旨在解决 1993 年文件中未明确定义的一个实体,但它充满了事实和概念上的错误以及相互矛盾的陈述。
