| description | Background: Patients with chronic pancreatitis can suffer from a range of intense pain, as well as problems related to the functioning of the digestive organs, the evaluation of the quality of life can provide valuable information about the level of physical and emotional discomfort felt by the patients after the surgical intervention.
Methods: A prospective study was carried out in the period 2014-2020 in which 113 patients with benign pancreatic pathology treated surgically admitted to the CF2 Clinical Hospital in Bucharest were included. For this study, the statistical method of simple linear regression was applied.
Results: Patients' quality of life can also be influenced by the level of social support and medical care they receive. A strong support network, which can provide emotional and practical support, as well as access to appropriate and specialist medical care, can play an important role in managing symptoms and improving patients' quality of life.
Conclusions: Although patients in this study experienced significant improvement in symptoms and ability to perform daily activities, it is important to pay attention to and manage persistent symptoms and postoperative complications to ensure the best possible quality of life. |
