Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Adults with a history of acute pancreatitis who may join or contribute data to the DREAM/DREAM-like cohorts and ancillary studies.
✕Less likely to help
Patients without a history of acute pancreatitis or those not enrolled in the cohorts may not directly benefit.
What this research studies
This project follows people who have had acute pancreatitis to see how often diabetes arises, why it happens, and what the biology looks like over time. It uses a multicenter network and real-world data, including AI tools, to analyze samples, health records, and follow-up information. The investigators aim to expand a well-characterized patient cohort and apply advanced analyses to identify patterns that could inform prevention and care. If you have had acute pancreatitis, you or your data could contribute to understanding who is at risk and how to monitor for diabetes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the work could lead to earlier detection of diabetes after pancreatitis and more personalized follow-up care.
How similar studies have gone: The DREAM cohort and related studies have demonstrated progress in understanding post-pancreatitis diabetes, with ongoing collaboration.
