Abstract
Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a chronic progressive fibro-inflammatory disease of the pancreas caused by various etiologies, characterized by recurrent upper abdominal pain and pancreatic exocrine dysfunction. ClinicalTrials.gov is the most commonly used clinical trial database, including information of clinical trials which have been completed or are ongoing, or upcoming. Based on the ClinicalTrials.gov database, we retrieved all clinical studies registered before June 30, 2024, screened out recent clinical studies related to CP, and summarized and integrated highlights and directions of these studies from the perspectives of nutritional support, medication, endoscopy, etc., aiming to provide new ideas for the design of CP clinical studies in the future.

Abstract
Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a progressive inflammatory disease with an increasing global prevalence. In recent years, a strong association between CP and metabolic bone diseases (MBDs), especially osteoporosis, has been identified, attracting significant attention in the research field. Epidemiological data suggest a rising trend in the incidence of MBDs among CP patients. Notably, recent studies have highlighted a profound interplay between CP and altered nutritional and immune profiles, offering insights into its linkage with MBDs. At the molecular level, CP introduces a series of biochemical disturbances that compromise bone homeostasis. One critical observation is the disrupted metabolism of vitamin D and vitamin K, both essential micronutrients for maintaining bone integrity, in CP patients. In this review, we provide physio-pathological perspectives on the development and mechanisms of CP-related MBDs. We also outline some of the latest therapeutic strategies for treating patients with CP-associated MBDs, including stem cell transplantation, monoclonal antibodies, and probiotic therapy. In summary, CP-associated MBDs represent a rising medical challenge, involving multiple tissues and organs, complex disease mechanisms, and diverse treatment approaches. More in-depth studies are required to understand the complex interplay between CP and MBDs to facilitate the development of more specific and effective therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
As a progressive fibroinflammatory disease, chronic pancreatitis (CP) often manifests as recurrent bouts of abdominal pain with or without complications, causing a heavy burden of health care. In recent years, some meaningful insights into the management of CP have been obtained from randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses, which were of great importance. Based on this research, it is shown that there are various treatments for CP. Therefore, it is of great importance to choose a suitable strategy for patients with CP individually. Relevant evidence on the management of CP was summarized in this review, including nutrition supplements, medication, endoscopy, surgery, exploration of novel therapies as well as evaluation and prediction of treatment response.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Individuals with chronic pancreatitis (CP) are at increased risk for nutritional complications during their clinical course. We appraised the literature to provide updated estimates of the prevalence and predictors of osteoporosis, osteopenia, and osteopathy in CP using a systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS Search strategies were developed for major databases from inception through October 2021. Outcomes of interest included rates of osteopenia and osteoporosis based on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scans and risk factors. A random-effects model was used for analysis, and results were expressed as pooled cumulative rates along with 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS From an initial total of 1,704 identified articles, we ultimately selected 17 studies that involved 1,659 subjects (n = 1,067 men) with CP. The pooled rate of osteopathy was 58% (95% CI: 49%-67%; P < 0.001; I 2 = 91.8%). The pooled rate of osteoporosis was 18% (95% CI: 12%-23%; P < 0.001; I 2 = 86.3%), and the pooled rate of osteopenia was 39% (95% CI: 31%-48%; P < 0.001; I 2 = 91.53%). In the systematic review, factors associated with decreased bone mineral density included smoking, alcohol consumption, older age, female sex, low body mass index, decreased vitamins D and K, and fecal elastase levels. DISCUSSION Patients with CP have high rates of osteopathy when assessed with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry imaging. Additional studies with longitudinal follow-up are needed to understand the observed heterogeneity, the cumulative burden of disease, and rate of bone loss in CP.

Clin Nutr 2023; 42:1086-1094. [PMID: 37271708 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2023.05.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2023] [Revised: 05/23/2023] [Accepted: 05/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Chronic pancreatitis results in irreversible pancreatic dysfunction and malnutrition which, alongside excess alcohol intake, can increase the risk of low bone density. Osteoporosis increases the risk of fractures and chronic bone pain, reduces quality of life, and poses considerable costs to healthcare. Despite this, there remains a paucity of literature evaluating bone health in this patient population. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the prevalences of osteopaenia, osteoporosis and fractures in patients with chronic pancreatitis. METHODS A comprehensive search of Medline, Embase, ClinicalTrials.gov, and CENTRAL databases was undertaken to identify eligible studies from January 2000 to May 2022. The prevalences of osteopenia, osteoporosis and fragility fractures were extracted from the included studies. Where available, a subgroup analysis was performed to compare the likelihood of developing osteoporosis in patients with chronic pancreatitis compared with control. RESULTS Nineteen studies reporting on 2,027,764 participants (20,460 with chronic pancreatitis and 2,007,304 controls) were included. The pooled prevalence of osteoporosis was 19% (95% CI 13 to 26%; I2 = 94%). Patients with chronic pancreatitis were more likely to have osteoporosis when compared with those in the control group (OR 2.80, 95% CI 1.86 to 4.21; I2 = 21%). The prevalences of osteopaenia and fractures in patients with chronic pancreatitis were 37% (95% CI 31 to 44%; I2 = 81%) and 14% (95% CI 7 to 22%; I2 = 99%) respectively. CONCLUSION The prevalences of osteopenia and osteoporosis are significant in patients with chronic pancreatitis and can increase the risk of developing fractures. Further population-based studies are required to evaluate the disease burden of osteoporotic fractures and associated morbidity and mortality in chronic pancreatitis.

World J Gastroenterol 2023; 29:1374-1394. [PMID: 36925454 PMCID: PMC10011962 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v29.i8.1374] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2022] [Revised: 01/15/2023] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 02/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone disease is an under-recognized cause of morbidity in chronic pancreatitis (CP). Over the past decade, publications of original studies on bone disease in CP has warranted synthesis of the evidence to ascertain the true burden of the problem.
AIM To quantify the prevalence of osteopenia, osteoporosis, and fragility fractures in CP patients and investigate the associated clinical features and outcomes.
METHODS A systematic search identified studies investigating bone disease in CP patients from Cochrane Library, Embase, Google Scholar, Ovid Medline, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, from inception until October 2022. The outcomes included prevalence of osteopenia, osteoporosis, and fragility fractures, which were meta-analyzed using a random-effects model and underwent metaregression to delineate association with baseline clinical features.
RESULTS Twenty-one studies were included for systematic review and 18 studies were included for meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in CP patients was 41.2% (95%CI: 35.2%-47.3%) and 20.9% (95%CI: 14.9%-27.6%), respectively. The pooled prevalence of fragility fractures described among CP was 5.9% (95%CI: 3.9%-8.4%). Meta-regression revealed significant association of pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) use with prevalence of osteoporosis [coefficient: 1.7 (95%CI: 0.6-2.8); P < 0.0001]. We observed no associations with mean age, sex distribution, body mass index, alcohol or smoking exposure, diabetes with prevalence of osteopenia, osteoporosis or fragility fractures. Paucity of data on systemic inflammation, CP severity, and bone mineralization parameters precluded a formal meta-analysis.
CONCLUSION This meta-analysis confirms significant bone disease in patients with CP. Other than PERT use, we observed no patient or study-specific factor to be significantly associated with CP-related bone disease. Further studies are needed to identify confounders, at-risk population, and to understand the mechanisms of CP-related bone disease and the implications of treatment response.

Abstract
Emerging research indicates that vitamin D metabolic disorder plays a major role in both acute pancreatitis (AP) and chronic pancreatitis (CP). This has been demonstrated by studies showing that vitamin D deficiency is associated with pancreatitis and its anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects by binding with the vitamin D receptor (VDR). However, the role of vitamin D assessment and its management in pancreatitis remains poorly understood. In this narrative review, we discuss the recent advances in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in vitamin D/VDR signaling in pancreatic cells; the evidence from observational studies and clinical trials that demonstrate the connection among vitamin D, pancreatitis and pancreatitis-related complications; and the route of administration of vitamin D supplementation in clinical practice. Although further research is still required to establish the protective role of vitamin D and its application in disease, evaluation of vitamin D levels and its supplementation should be important strategies for pancreatitis management according to currently available evidence.
