    Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a disease characterized by an acute inflammatory phase followed by a convalescent phase. Diabetes mellitus (DM) was historically felt to be a transient phenomenon related to acute inflammation; however, it is increasingly recognized as an important late and chronic complication. There are several challenges that have prevented precisely determining the incidence rate of DM after AP and understanding the underlying mechanisms. The DREAM (Diabetes RElated to Acute Pancreatitis and its Mechanisms) Study is a prospective cohort study designed to address these and other knowledge gaps to provide the evidence needed to screen for, prevent, and treat DM after AP. In the following article, we summarize literature regarding the epidemiology of DM after AP and provide the rationale and an overview of the DREAM study.

    Recruitment and Retention Strategies for the Diabetes RElated to Acute Pancreatitis and Its Mechanisms Study: From the Type 1 Diabetes in Acute Pancreatitis Consortium
    (Wolters Kluwer, 2022) Yazici, Cemal; Dyer, Anne-Marie; Conwell, Darwin L.; Afghani, Elham; Andersen, Dana K.; Basina, Marina; Bellin, Melena D.; Boone, Leslie R.; Casu, Anna; Easler, Jeffrey J.; Greenbaum, Carla J.; Hart, Phil A.; Jeon, Christie Y.; Lee, Peter J.; Meier, Shelby; Papachristou, Georgios I.; Raja-Khan, Nazia T.; Saeed, Zeb I.; Serrano, Jose; Yadav, Dhiraj; Fogel, Evan L.; Type 1 Diabetes in Acute Pancreatitis Consortium (T1DAP); Medicine, School of Medicine
    Recruitment and retention of patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) in clinical studies can be challenging. While some obstacles are similar to other clinical conditions, some are unique to AP. Identifying potential barriers early and developing targeted solutions can help optimize recruitment and retention in AP studies. Such preemptive and detailed planning can help prospective, longitudinal studies focusing on exocrine and endocrine complications of AP in accurately measuring outcomes. This manuscript highlights the challenges in recruitment and retention strategies in AP studies and reviews available resources to create opportunities to address them. We describe the multifaceted approach used by the Recruitment and Retention Committee of the Type 1 Diabetes in Acute Pancreatitis Consortium (T1DAPC), which builds upon earlier experiences to develop a recruitment and retention plan for the DREAM (Diabetes RElated to Acute pancreatitis and its Mechanisms) study.

    Standard Operating Procedures for Biospecimen Collection, Processing, and Storage: From the Type 1 Diabetes in Acute Pancreatitis Consortium
    (Wolters Kluwer, 2022) Wasserfall, Clive; Dyer, Anne-Marie; Speake, Cate; Andersen, Dana K.; Baab, Kendall Thomas; Bellin, Melena D.; Broach, James R.; Campbell-Thompson, Martha; Chinchilli, Vernon M.; Lee, Peter J.; Park, Walter G.; Pratley, Richard E.; Saloman, Jami L.; Sims, Emily K.; Tang, Gong; Yadav, Dhiraj; Yazici, Cemal; Conwell, Darwin L.; Type 1 Diabetes in Acute Pancreatitis Consortium (T1DAPC); Pediatrics, School of Medicine
    Differences in methods for biospecimen collection, processing, and storage can yield considerable variability and error. Therefore, best practices for standard operating procedures are critical for successful discovery, development, and validation of disease biomarkers. Here, we describe standard operating procedures developed for biospecimen collection during the DREAM (Diabetes RElated to Acute pancreatitis and its Mechanisms) Study within the Type 1 Diabetes in Acute Pancreatitis Consortium (T1DAPC). Notably these protocols were developed using an integrative process based on prior consortium experience and with input from working groups with expertise in immunology, pancreatitis and diabetes. Publication and adoption consistent biospecimen protocols will inform future studies and allow for better comparisons across different metabolic research efforts.
