Prevalence of Osteopathy in Chronic Pancreatitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Individuals with chronic pancreatitis (CP) are at increased risk for nutritional complications during their clinical course. We appraised the literature to provide updated estimates of the prevalence and predictors of osteoporosis, osteopenia, and osteopathy in CP using a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods

Search strategies were developed for major databases from inception through October 2021. Outcomes of interest included rates of osteopenia and osteoporosis based on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scans and risk factors. A random-effects model was used for analysis, and results were expressed as pooled cumulative rates along with 95% confidence interval (CI).

Results

From an initial total of 1,704 identified articles, we ultimately selected
