Abstract
A total of 107 patients with chronic pancreatitis from the London area seen between 1968 and 1973 have been reviewed; they comprised 30 with calcific pancreatitis and 77 with chronic or chronic relapsing pancreatitis without calcification. The commonest clinical features were pain, diabetes, malabsorption, and peptic ulcer. Alcohol was a probable aetiology in nearly half the cases, a different finding from those of previous surveys and possibly associated with the increased consumption of alcohol in England in the last 20 years.Entities:
