Quality of life and functional outcome at 3, 6 and 12 months after acute necrotising pancreatitis

Abstract: In the first year after acute necrotising pancreatitis patients showed improvement in their physical components of quality of life and in their physical function, but their outcome at 12 months was still poor compared to the general population. This patient group in particular may benefit from a structured rehabilitation programme continuing after hospital discharge.

It also found that no study focused on overall quality of life (QoL) during hospitalization and only two studies reported on short-term outcomes [13,14].
