title: [Social profile and accompanying diseases in acute and chronic pancreatitis (author's transl)].
abstract: 200 patients with pancreatitis were examined for various concomitant and previous diseases, and socioeconomic factors, in a retrospective study. This pancreatitis group (PG) was compared with a control group (CG) of 250 patients. Most frequent amongst the etiological factors, were biliary diseases, especially a state after cholecystectomy. Second in rank, was chronic alcoholism. For women, the incidence was highest in the 7th decade; for men, there was a double peak in the 4th and 6th decade, respectively. The incidence was about equal for both sexes. The following factors were found to play no essential role in the PG: type of profession, cigarette consumption, gastric and/or duodenal ulcers, partial gastric resection, renal and cardiac insufficiency, viral hepatitis, liver cirrhosis of hypertriglyceridemia. There is a significant accumulation of mumps in the history of the PG, which had gone along without any clinically detectable affection of the pancreas in childhood, in practically all cases.
