Abstract
Total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT) is a surgical procedure undertaken in some patients with severe pain or disability from recurrent acute and chronic pancreatitis (CP). TPIAT provides a rare opportunity to study human pancreas tissue from patients affected with pancreatitis, and particularly from patients with genetic forms of pancreatitis. Research to date suggests distinct histopathology and potentially differential pathophysiology of distinct etiologies of CP. Histopathology specimens have helped better define the success and limitations of clinical diagnostic imaging tools, such as magnetic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic ultrasound.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although pain management is central to pediatric chronic pancreatitis (CP) care, no evidence-based guidelines exist. In this scoping systematic review, we sought promising strategies for CP pain treatment in children. METHODS We systematically reviewed literature on pain management in children and adults with CP, and 2 conditions with similar pain courses: juvenile idiopathic arthritis and sickle cell disease. RESULTS Of 8997 studies identified, 287 met inclusion criteria. There are no published studies of analgesic medications, antioxidants, dietary modification, integrative medicine, or regional nerve blocks in children with CP. In adults with CP, studies of nonopioid analgesics, pancreatic enzymes, and dietary interventions have mixed results. Retrospective studies suggest that endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and surgical procedures, most durably total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplant, improve pain for children with CP. Follow-up was short relative to a child's life. Large studies in adults also suggest benefit from endoscopic therapy and surgery, but lack conclusive evidence about optimal procedure or timing. Studies on other painful pediatric chronic illnesses revealed little generalizable to children with CP. CONCLUSIONS No therapy had sufficient high-quality studies to warrant untempered, evidence-based support for use in children with CP. Multicenter studies are needed to identify pain management "best practices."

Assessment of pain associated with chronic pancreatitis: An international consensus guideline. Pancreatology 2021; 21:1256-1284. [PMID: 34391675 DOI: 10.1016/j.pan.2021.07.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2021] [Revised: 07/16/2021] [Accepted: 07/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Pain is the most common symptom in chronic pancreatitis (CP) with a major impact on quality of life. Few validated questionnaires to assess pain in CP exist, and the lack of consensus negatively impacts clinical management, research and meta-analysis. This guideline aims to review generic pain questionnaires for their usability in CP, to outline how pain assessment can be modified by confounding factors and pain types, to assess the value of additional measures such as quality of life, mental health and quantitative sensory testing, and finally to review pain assessment questionnaires used specifically in CP. A systematic review was done to answer 27 questions that followed the PICO (Population; Intervention; Comparator; Outcome) template. Quality of evidence of the statements was judged by Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) criteria. The manuscript was sent for review to 36 experts from various disciplines and continents in a multi-stage Delphi process, and finally reviewed by patient representatives. Main findings were that generic pain instruments are valid in most settings, but aspects of pain are specific for CP (including in children), and instruments have to account for the wide phenotypic variability and development of sensitization of the central nervous system. Side effects to treatment and placebo effects shall also be considered. Some multidimensional questionnaires are validated for CP and are recommended together with assessment of quality of life and psychiatric co-morbidities. This guideline will result in more homogeneous and comprehensive pain assessment to potentially improve management of painful CP.

Am J Surg 2021; 222:786-792. [PMID: 33541688 PMCID: PMC10123923 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjsurg.2021.01.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2020] [Revised: 01/03/2021] [Accepted: 01/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is associated with poor quality of life. Total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT) has traditionally been reserved for patients with refractory disease. We hypothesized TPIAT would lead to decreased costs and resource utilization after operation in children. METHODS Retrospective review of 39 patients who underwent TPIAT at a single children's hospital was performed. All inpatient admissions, imaging, endoscopic procedures, and operations were recorded for the year prior to and following operation. Costs were determined from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. RESULTS Median hospital admissions before operation was 5 (IQR:2-7) and decreased to 2 (IQR:1-3) after (p < 0.01). Median total cost for the year before operation was $36,006 (IQR:$19,914-$47,680), decreasing to $24,900 postoperatively (IQR:$17,432-$44,005, p = 0.03). Removing cost of TPIAT itself, total cost was further reduced to $10,564 (IQR:$3096-$29,669, p < 0.01). CONCLUSION In children with debilitating CP, TPIAT has favorable impact on cost reduction, hospitalizations, and invasive procedures. Early intervention at a specialized pancreas center of excellence should be considered to decrease future resource utilization and costs among children.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to report on the short-and long-term outcomes of surgery for chronic pancreatitis (CP) in children. METHODS All the children, who underwent surgery for CP between August 2007 and July 2019 in the Department of Surgical gastroenterology, Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Kolkata, India were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS Of the total 54 patients, 33 (61%) were girls. The median age at operation was 16.5 years. The median duration between onset of pain and surgery was 36 months. 26% of patients were referred after failure of endotherapy. The most common indication for surgery was pain (94%). Surgery performed included modified Puestow (n = 26), Frey (n = 25), and Izbicki procedures. Twelve postoperative complications developed in ten (18.5%) patients. Most common complication was wound infection. Pancreatic leak developed in four (7.4%) patients (type A = 3, type B = 1). Median postoperative hospital stay was 8 days. There was no in-hospital mortality. Over a median follow-up of 48 months, 83% of patients had complete pain control. Weight gain was achieved in 77% of patients. New-onset diabetes and exocrine insufficiency developed in 4 and 14% of patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Surgery is safe with fairly acceptable perioperative complications and good long-term pain control.

Abstract
Background Chronic pancreatitis (CP) in children is an inreasingly recognized disease. Objective The purpose of study was to analyse the safety and long-term efficacy of endoscopic treatment in children with CP. Methods Records of 38 patients aged <18 years, referred to the Digestive Endoscopy Unit at Catholic University, Fondazione Policlinico "A. Gemelli" IRCCS between 1991 and 2017, were reviewed. Abdominal pain, analgesia and number of episodes of acute pancreatitis in the pre- and post- endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) period were evaluated. Need for surgery was assessed. Therapeutic intervention data and complications were interrogated. Results In total 158 ERCPs were performed. Median post-ERCP follow-up was 7 years. The majority of patients had CP type IV (47%) and type Ib (37%) (Cremer's classification). Major papilla pancreatic sphincterotomy was performed in 47%, major and minor in 24% and minor in 29% of patients. Stones/plugs were removed in at least one ERCPs in 66% individuals. Eleven out of 38 patients had stricture of the pancreatic duct; these were dilated and stented in 5/11 and stented in 6/11. Five complications were recorded (3%). Severity and frequency of abdominal pain improved significantly; p < 0.001. Use of analgesia and number of episodes of acute pancreatitis decreased significantly; p < 0.001. One child required subsequent surgery. Conclusion Endoscopic management of symptomatic CP in children is safe and effective.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pediatric pancreatitis is an underdiagnosed disease with variable etiology. In the past 10-15 years the incidence of pediatric pancreatitis has increased, it is now 3.6-13.3 cases per 100,000 children. Up-to-date evidence based management guidelines are lacking for the pediatric pancreatitis. The European Pancreatic Club, in collaboration with the Hungarian Pancreatic Study Group organized a consensus guideline meeting on the diagnosis and management of pancreatitis in the pediatric population. METHODS Pediatric Pancreatitis was divided into three main clinical categories: acute pancreatitis, acute recurrent pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis. Fifteen relevant topics (acute pancreatitis: diagnosis; etiology; prognosis; imaging; complications; therapy; biliary tract management; acute recurrent pancreatitis: diagnosis; chronic pancreatitis: diagnosis, etiology, treatment, imaging, intervention, pain, complications; enzyme replacement) were defined. Ten experts from the USA and Europe reviewed and summarized the available literature. Evidence was classified according to the GRADE classification system. RESULTS Within fifteen topics, forty-seven relevant clinical questions were defined. The draft of the updated guideline was presented and discussed at the consensus meeting held during the 49th Meeting of European Pancreatic Club, in Budapest, on July 1, 2017. CONCLUSIONS These evidence-based guidelines provides the current state of the art of the diagnosis and management of pediatric pancreatitis.
