    (Wolters Kluwer, 2019-07-01) Lin, Tom K.; Abu-El-Haija, Maisam; Nathan, Jaimie D.; Palermo, Joseph P.; Barth, Bradley; Bellin, Melena; Fishman, Douglas S.; Freedman, Steven D.; Gariepy, Cheryl E.; Giefer, Matthew J.; Gonska, Tanja; Heyman, Melvin B.; Himes, Ryan; Husain, Sohail Z.; Liu, Quin; Maqbool, Asim; Mascarenhas, Maria; McFerron, Brian; Morinville, Veronique D.; Ooi, Chee Y.; Perito, Emily; Pohl, John F.; Rhee, Sue; Schwarzenberg, Sarah Jane; Shah, Uzma; Troendle, David; Werlin, Steven L.; Wilschanski, Michael; Zimmerman, M.

    The significance of pancreas divisum (PD) as a risk factor for pancreatitis is controversial. We analyzed the characteristics of children with PD associated with acute recurrent or chronic pancreatitis to better understand its impact. Patients and Methods: We compared children with or without PD in the well-phenotyped INSPPIRE (INternational Study group of Pediatric Pancreatitis: In search for a cuRE) cohort. Differences were analyzed using 2-sample t test or Wilcoxon rank sum test for continuous variables, Pearson χ2 or Fisher exact test for categorical variables. Results: PD was found in 52 of 359 (14.5%) subjects, a higher prevalence than the general population (∼7%). Females more commonly had PD (71% vs. 55%; P=0.02). Children with PD did not have a higher incidence of mutations in SPINK1, CFTR, CTRC compared with children with no PD. Children with PD were less likely to have PRSS1 mutations (10% vs. 34%; P<0.01) or a family history of pancreatitis (P<0.05), and more likely to have hypertriglyceridemia (11% vs. 3%; P=0.03). Children with PD underwent significantly more endoscopic procedures and pancreatic sphincterotomy. Patients with PD had fewer attacks of acute pancreatitis (P=0.03) and were less likely to develop exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (P=0.01). Therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was considered most helpful if pancreatic duct was impacted with stones (83% helpful). Conclusions: PD is likely a risk factor for acute recurrent pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis in children that appears to act independently of genetic risk factors. Patients with PD and stones obstructing the pancreatic duct benefit most from therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.

    Pediatric Drug-Associated Pancreatitis Reveals Concomitant Risk Factors and Poor Reliability of Causality Scoring: Report From INSPPIRE
    (Wiley, 2023) Morinville, Veronique D.; Husain, Sohail Z.; Wang, Fuchenchu; Cress, Gretchen A.; Abu-El-Haija, Maisam; Chugh, Ankur; Downs, Elissa; Ellery, Kate; Fishman, Douglas S.; Freeman, Alvin Jay; Gariepy, Cheryl E.; Giefer, Matthew; Gonska, Tanja; Liu, Quin; Maqbool, Asim; Mark, Jacob; Mcferron, Brian Arthur; Mehta, Megha; Nathan, Jaimie D.; Ng, Ken; Ooi, Chee Y.; Perito, Emily; Ruan, Wenly; Schwarzenberg, Sarah Jane; Sellers, Zachary M.; Serrano, Jose; Troendle, David M.; Wilschanski, Michael; Zheng, Yuhua; Yuan, Ying; Lowe, Mark; Uc, Aliye; Consortium for the Study of Chronic Pancreatitis, Diabetes and Pancreatic Cancer (CPDPC); Pediatrics, School of Medicine
    Objectives: Drug-associated acute pancreatitis (DAP) studies typically focus on single acute pancreatitis (AP) cases. We aimed to analyze the (1) characteristics, (2) co-risk factors, and (3) reliability of the Naranjo scoring system for DAP using INSPPIRE-2 (the INternational Study group of Pediatric Pancreatitis: In search for a cuRE-2) cohort study of acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) and chronic pancreatitis (CP) in children. Methods: Data were obtained from ARP group with ≥1 episode of DAP and CP group with medication exposure ± DAP. Physicians could report multiple risk factors. Pancreatitis associated with Medication (Med) (ARP+CP) was compared to Non-Medication cases, and ARP-Med vs CP-Med groups. Naranjo score was calculated for each DAP episode. Results: Of 726 children, 392 had ARP and 334 had CP; 51 children (39 ARP and 12 CP) had ≥1 AP associated with a medication; 61% had ≥1 AP without concurrent medication exposure. The Med group had other risk factors present (where tested): 10 of 35 (28.6%) genetic, 1 of 48 (2.1%) autoimmune pancreatitis, 13 of 51 (25.5%) immune-mediated conditions, 11 of 50 (22.0%) obstructive/anatomic, and 28 of 51 (54.9%) systemic risk factors. In Med group, 24 of 51 (47%) had involvement of >1 medication, simultaneously or over different AP episodes. There were 20 ARP and 4 CP cases in "probable" category and 19 ARP and 7 CP in "possible" category by Naranjo scores. Conclusions: Medications were involved in 51 of 726 (7%) of ARP or CP patients in INSPPIRE-2 cohort; other pancreatitis risk factors were present in most, suggesting a potential additive role of different risks. The Naranjo scoring system failed to identify any cases as "definitive," raising questions about its reliability for DAP.
