[Social profile and accompanying diseases in acute and chronic pancreatitis (author's transl)]. 1980

H Pristautz, and H Biffl, and W Leitner, and P Parsché, and H Katschnig

200 patients with pancreatitis were examined for various concomitant and previous diseases, and socioeconomic factors, in a retrospective study. This pancreatitis group (PG) was compared with a control group (CG) of 250 patients. Most frequent amongst the etiological factors, were biliary diseases, especially a state after cholecystectomy. Second in rank, was chronic alcoholism. For women, the incidence was highest in the 7th decade; for men, there was a double peak in the 4th and 6th decade, respectively. The incidence was about equal for both sexes. The following factors were found to play no essential role in the PG: type of profession, cigarette consumption, gastric and/or duodenal ulcers, partial gastric resection, renal and cardiac insufficiency, viral hepatitis, liver cirrhosis of hypertriglyceridemia. There is a significant accumulation of mumps in the history of the PG, which had gone along without any clinically detectable affection of the pancreas in childhood, in practically all cases.

Rubeola

D009107	Mumps	An acute infectious disease caused by RUBULAVIRUS, spread by direct contact, airborne droplet nuclei, fomites contaminated by infectious saliva, and perhaps urine, and usually seen in children under the age of 15, although adults may also be affected.

D010195	Pancreatitis	INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS. Pancreatitis is classified as acute unless there are computed tomographic or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic findings of CHRONIC PANCREATITIS (International Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis, Atlanta, 1992). The two most common forms of acute pancreatitis are ALCOHOLIC PANCREATITIS and gallstone pancreatitis.
