Core Tip

Core Tip: With advancements in the field, our knowledge has expanded in understanding and managing pediatric chronic pancreatitis (CP). However, its impact on quality of life (QOL) is often overlooked. Our aim is to shift our attention from the clinical aspects to real-life experiences faced by children. We highlight how the CP affects different domains of QOL. By exploring the available evidence, the review calls for the integration of QOL assessment into routine clinical care and advocates for a multidisciplinary approach. Recognizing and addressing these hidden burdens is essential to truly improving care for pediatric CP beyond symptom control.
