RESUMEN

Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) stems from a deficiency of functional pancreatic enzymes with consequent maldigestion and malnutrition. EPI shares clinical symptoms and manifestations with other disorders and is a considerable burden to individuals affected. In this narrative review, we analyzed the literature to identify relevant publications on living with EPI with the scope of individuating evidence gaps, including those related to symptoms, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), emotional functioning, disease burden, presence of comorbidities, and the use of pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT). Abdominal pain emerged as one of the most prominent symptoms. HRQoL was affected in EPI, but no articles examined emotional functioning. Comorbidities reported involved other pancreatic disorders, diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, sarcopenia and osteopenia, cardiovascular disorders, bacterial overgrowth, and nutritional deficiencies. PERT was found to be effective in improving EPI symptoms and was well tolerated by most individuals. Our review revealed a dearth of literature evidence on patients' experience with EPI, such as emotional functioning and disease burden. We also revealed that studies on long-term effects of PERT are missing, as are studies that would help advance the understanding of the disease and its progression, risk/mitigating factors, and comorbidities. Future studies should address these identified gaps.
