Summary

Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) is one of the common complications of chronic pancreatitis (CP). Mild to moderate PEI may present with atypical digestive tract symptoms such as abdominal distension and abdominal pain, while severe PEI can lead to related complications such as foul-smelling stools, steatorrhea, weight loss, and malnutrition. Currently, there is no relevant report on the status quo of PEI in Chinese CP patients. This study aims to analyze the status quo of PEI and related risk factors in Chinese CP patients, with the hope of providing safe and effective intervention and treatment methods to improve the quality of life of patients.
