A Case-Crossover Study to Inform Tailored Interventions to Prevent Disease Progression in Alcoholic Pancreatitis

Funding: Department of Defense

Project PI: Cheryl Cherpitel, DrPH

This is the first case-crossover epidemiologic study of alcoholic pancreatitis that will generate critical data on the timing  and extent of drinking that precipitates an attack of AP. Among  many, alcohol is the most common risk  factor for recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP)   that leads to chronic pancreatitis (CP).  The project will include patients with first-attack AP, as well as RAP in this study.

PROJECT LEADERS AND INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM: This epidemiologic study will be carried  out by an interdisciplinary team with expertise in gastroenterology, epidemiology and alcohol research. The investigative teams will be based in Los Angeles and Pittsburgh and will span across four centers:  Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (CSMC), VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System (VAGLAHS), University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) and VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System (VAPHS).
