[New international classification of chronic pancreatitis (2007) M-ANNHEIM].
Beginning in 1963, proposed various classifications of chronic pancreatitis. These classifications were based on the latest at the time the results of studies of the pancreas and to reflect the latest achievements pancreatology at the time, but not one of these classifications was not a simple unified classification system for chronic pancreatitis simultaneously etiology, clinical stage, severity of disease. The authors have developed a new classification that included all of the above listed characteristics. As a result, developed a multifactor classification of M-ANNHEIM, taking into account the many risk factors for CP. This classification allows to divide the patients with chronic pancreatitis into categories according to etiology, clinical stage and severity of CP. The severity of the disease is classified by the system of assessment, which takes into account the clinical symptoms and treatment options for CP. This new classification is optimal for the evaluation of various risk factors and their interactions.
