Description
Anand Krishnan and co-authors published this 2024 protocol for a nationwide study of pancreas inflammation in India. Both sudden and long-term pancreatitis cause local damage and body-wide complications. How common they are in India, and what drives them, is poorly known. The EPICAP-India study plans to map the burden across the country.
Field teams will visit homes covering about one hundred ten thousand people at ten sites in ten states. They will screen for belly pain that needed hospital care or known long-term disease. Specialists will confirm cases with imaging, and each case will be matched with four controls. Data will cover tobacco, alcohol, family history, genes, treatment cost, and quality of life. Hospital watching will add rates of sudden attacks.
