Abstract

BACKGROUND

Currently no tools to predict risk of acute (AP) and recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) are available. We assessed the prevalence of AP/ARP and tested the potential role of Pancreatic Insufficiency Prevalence (PIP) score in a cohort of children with CF.

METHODS

We identified two groups of children, on the basis of presence/absence of AP/ARP, who were compared for age at diagnosis, clinical features, genotypes and sweat chloride level. PIP score was calculated for each patient.

RESULTS

10/167 (5.9%) experienced at least one episode of AP during follow up; 10/10 were pancreatic sufficient (PS). Patients with AP/ARP showed a PIP score ≤0.25 more frequently (6/10) than patients without AP/ARP. The odds ratio (95% CI) of developing pancreatitis was 4.54 (1.22-16.92) for patients with PIP <0.25 when compared with those who have a PIP score >0.25 (p 0.0151). PIP score was correlated with sweat chloride test (p < 0.01).

CONCLUSION

PIP score, PS status and normal/borderline sweat chloride levels could be applied to predict pancreatitis development in children with CF. ARP could lead to pancreatic insufficiency.

摘要

背景

目前尚无用于预测囊性纤维化（CF）患儿发生急性胰腺炎（AP）和复发性胰腺炎（ARP）风险的工具。我们评估了AP/ARP的患病率，并在一组CF患儿中测试了胰腺功能不全患病率（PIP）评分的潜在作用。

方法

我们根据是否存在AP/ARP将两组儿童进行了识别，比较了他们的诊断年龄、临床特征、基因型和汗液氯化物水平。为每位患者计算PIP评分。

结果

10/167（5.9%）在随访期间经历了至少一次AP发作；其中10/10为胰腺功能正常（PS）。与无AP/ARP的患者相比，发生AP/ARP的患者PIP评分≤0.25更为常见（6/10）。与PIP评分>0.25的患者相比，PIP<0.25的患者发生胰腺炎的比值比（95%CI）为4.54（1.22-16.92）（p=0.0151）。PIP评分与汗液氯化物试验相关（p<0.01）。
