Official Title
Fatigue, Psychological Comorbidity and Quality of Life Among Patients With Chronic Pancreatitis in China.
Brief Summary
This study will investigate the status of fatigue, psychological comorbidity and quality of
life among patients with chronic pancreatitis in China and analyze their influencing factors.
Detailed Description
Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is an inflammatory disease characterized by pancreatic fibrosis.
Available studies suggested that the incidence of CP in China was about 13.5 per 100,000
people. Patients with CP often have symptoms of pancreatic endocrine and exocrine
insufficiency such as elevated blood sugar, weight loss, muscle loss, combined with
complications such as pancreatic duct stones, pancreatic duct stenosis, pancreatic
pseudocysts, and have a higher risk of pancreatic cancer, which seriously affects the quality
of life of patients.
Psychological comorbidities represented by anxiety and depression were thought to be
widespread in CP patients, with available epidemiological studies indicating that the
prevalence of anxiety and depression in CP patients in the United States was 36.8% and 46.8%,
respectively. In addition, fatigue, as a subjective perception of decreased ability to
perform physical and/or intellectual tasks, has also been founded among CP patients.
However, to date, there is a lack of epidemiological studies on fatigue, anxiety, depression
and quality of life in Chinese patients with CP. This study will investigate the
epidemiological status of fatigue, anxiety, depression, and quality of life in Chinese
patients with CP and analyze the factors influencing them.
