Abstract

Introduction: Chronic pancreatitis presents a significant problem to healthcare practitioners as it affects many areas of a patient’s health, including their physical, mental, and socioeconomic health. The Pancreatitis Quality of Life Instrument (PANQOLI) is the 1st instrument developed specifically to evaluate the quality of life of patients with chronic pancreatitis. This study compares a healthy control population with a chronic pancreatitis population using the PANQOLI to provide a normal distribution curve. Methods: 56 patients with chronic pancreatitis were given the PANQOLI and compared with 52 healthy individuals (consisting of medical students and residents) who also completed the PANQOLI. Subgroup analysis was also performed to compare smokers and non-smokers, as well as malnourished and non-malnourished patients.
