Comparative Analysis of Quality of Life in Patients with Chronic Biliary Pancreatitis in Different Groups depending on the Duration of the Disease

Abstract

In comparative assessment of the quality of life of patients with chronic biliary pancreatitis by all SF-36 scales there was proved that it was significantly higher in patients after laparoscopic and lowest — after open cholecystectomy; p < 0.05. In assessing the quality of life by pain scale the severity of pain was found to decrease with duration of chronic biliary pancreatitis (r = 0.31), and general health was worse (r = –0.24); p < 0.05. Reduced quality of life is in close correlation with the frequency of aggravations within a year (r = 0.83); p < 0.05.
