title: [Chronic pancreatitis in the Bródno district of Warsaw].
abstract: A retrospective epidemiological-clinical analysis of patients with chronic pancreatitis living in the Bródno District of Warsaw is reported. It was found that the approximated coefficients of morbidity and incidence per 100 thousand of the population in 1987 were 17.0 and 5.0 respectively, and they were similar to those reported from Rochester (USA) and Copenhagen (Denmark). However, the incidence has risen from 2 in 1982 to 5 in 1987 per 100 thousand, which might be connected with increasing alcohol consumption by the population or increased detectability of chronic pancreatitis in this city district.
