Chronic and recurrent pancreatitis

Liver Symposium

13 October 2022 (1400-1530) @ Sipadan Hall 2

Up until recently, our knowledge and understanding of paediatric pancreatitis have been extrapolated from the adult literature. This presentation will cover the spectrum of Dr Ooi's works in paediatric pancreatitis, including from his works as part of the INternational Study Group of Pediatric Pancreatitis: In search for a cuRE (INSPPIRE) project. INSPPIRE is the first multinational, multi-center effort to systematically characterize pediatric pancreatitis, particularly acute recurrent and chronic pancreatitis.
