During the fifteen year period 1969-1983, 493 patients with primary acute pancreatitis were admitted to Nottingham hospitals. The incidence of this disease increased from 75.1 per million per year for 1969-1976 admissions to 116.9 per million per year for 1977-1983 admissions. For both cohorts there were large statistically significant variations in the distribution of pancreatitis within the study area. The spatial distribution for both cohorts revealed that the highest incidence rates clustered in an area east of the city centre which is supplied by particularly "hard" water. The chemical composition of the domestic water supply may play a role in the manifestation of acute pancreatitis.
在1969年至1983年的15年期间，493例原发性急性胰腺炎患者被收治入诺丁汉的医院。该疾病的发病率从1969 - 1976年入院患者的每年每百万75.1例增加到1977 - 1983年入院患者的每年每百万116.9例。对于这两个队列，研究区域内胰腺炎的分布在统计学上都有很大差异。两个队列的空间分布显示，发病率最高的区域集中在市中心以东由特别“硬”的水供应的地区。生活用水的化学成分可能在急性胰腺炎的表现中起作用。
