Abstract
Objective: to present the results of a survey applied to Latin American pediatric gastroenterologists (PGs) to learn how they perform the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to pancreatitis. Material and methods: a descriptive, exploratory, multicenter study and survey was conducted. Results: 73.6 % defined the three types of pancreatitis according to the INSPPIRE group. Biliary disease, abdominal trauma, and medication intake were the most frequent causes. 80 % of cases were considered mild pancreatitis. 73 % of the PGs utilized nutritional support, with enteral nutrition predominating. Conclusion: this is the first exploratory study to describe the diagnostic and therapeutic approach of PGs to pancreatitis in Latin America.
