Abstract
BACKGROUND: Available estimates of coexistent alcohol-related pancreatitis (ALP) and alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) vary widely, and factors that determine coexistent disease are largely unknown. We performed a systematic review of published literature with the primary aim to generate robust estimates for coexistent alcohol-related chronic pancreatitis (ACP) and alcohol-related cirrhosis (ALC). METHODS: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases from inception until February 2018. Studies included were those in English-language, sample size ≥25 and allowed calculation of the coexistent disease. Pooled estimates were calculated using a random-effects model approach. RESULTS: Twenty-nine (including 5 autopsy studies) of 2000 eligible studies met inclusion criteria. Only 6.9% included patients were female. Fifteen studies enabled calculation of ACP in ALC, and 11 for ALC in ACP. Pooled prevalence of ACP in ALC was 16.2% (95% CI 10.4-24.5) overall, and 15.5% (95% CI 8.0-27.7) when data were limited to clinical studies. Corresponding prevalence for ALC in ACP was 21.5% (95% CI 12.0-35.6) and 16.9% (95% CI 11.5-24.3), respectively. There was significant heterogeneity among studies (I2 - 65-92%). Pooled prevalence for ALP in ALD or ALD in ALP in clinical studies were 15.2% and 39%, respectively. None of the studies reported outcomes in patients with coexistent disease. CONCLUSION: A sizeable fraction of patients with ACP or ALC have coexistent disease. Future studies should define the prevalence of coexistent disease in women and minority populations, and the consequences of coexistent disease on clinical presentation and short- and long-term outcomes.
