ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
/Objectives:
Alcohol and smoking cessation are recommended in chronic pancreatitis. The aim of this study is to measure the rates of alcohol and smoking cessation counselling among providers and adherence to recommendations.METHODS:
Retrospective cohort study of chronic pancreatitis patients at a tertiary hospital. Provider types were defined as primary care (PCP), gastroenterologist, or pancreas specialist. Pairwise comparisons and multivariable analysis were conducted to assess the relation between provider type and smoking/alcohol cessation.RESULTS:
Of 256 patients with chronic pancreatitis, 142 (55.5%) consumed alcohol and 130 (91.5%) were advised to stop. Alcohol cessation was advised to 88.9, 96.0 and 92.5% of patients followed by PCP, gastroenterologists and pancreas specialists, respectively. Sixty-one patients (46.9%) were compliant with the recommendation 31.3, 44.0 and 54.1% of patients followed by PCP, gastroenterologists and pancreas specialists, respectively (Pairwise comparisons PCP vs Pancreas p = 0.03, others nonsignificant). In multivariable analysis, patients followed by pancreas specialists were more likely to adhere to alcohol cessation recommendation compared to those followed by PCP (OR = 4.31, CI 1.52-12.20, p = 0.006). Smoking cessation was advised to all the 127 current smokers (100%). Fifty-six (44.1%) were compliant with the recommendation 24.1, 58.3 and 47.3% of patients followed by PCP, gastroenterologists and pancreas specialists, respectively (Pairwise comparisons PCP vs Pancreas p = 0.03, PCP vs. Gastroenterologist p = 0.01, others nonsignificant). Multivariable analysis did not confirm this finding.CONCLUSIONS:
The majority of providers counsel for alcohol/smoking cessation. Less than half the patients follow the recommendations. Patients followed by pancreas specialists were more likely to adhere to alcohol cessation recommendation.Palavras-chave
