About This Acute Pancreatitis Study in Chicago

The overriding objective of DREAM is to conduct a prospective longitudinal (36 months) observational clinical study to investigate the incidence, etiology, and pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus (DM) following acute pancreatitis (AP).

Sponsor: Milton S. Hershey Medical Center

Inclusion Criteria

Diagnosis of acute pancreatitis (AP) 0-90 days prior to enrollment date
Participant fully understands and is able to participate in all aspects of the study, including providing informed consent, completion of case report forms (CRFs), telephone interviews, metabolic testing, and planned longitudinal follow-ups

Exclusion Criteria

Diagnosis of definite chronic pancreatitis (CP) at enrollment based on either of the following criteria met by computed tomography (CT) scan (including non-contrast enhanced) or Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) or Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP): (a) Parenchymal or ductal calcifications on CT scan (after excluding the possibility that calcifications are vascular); (b) Intraductal filling defects suggestive of calcifications on MRI and/or MRCP
Potential participants with post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (post- ERCP) AP who are hospitalized for \<48 hours.

Any other condition or factor that would compromise the participant's safety or the scientific integrity of the study
