There is no specific value for the 20-year survival rate of chronic pancreatitis. The survival rate of chronic pancreatitis patients is related to the specific condition of the patient, the degree of damage to the pancreas, and the presence or absence of complications, etc. Mildly ill patients generally do not affect the survival rate, and if the pancreas is severely damaged, the 5-year survival rate may not exceed 20%. If the pancreas is severely damaged, the 5-year survival rate may not exceed 20%. After active treatment, patients with chronic pancreatitis can generally relieve their symptoms and improve the function of the pancreas, as well as improve the quality of life of the patients. However, chronic pancreatitis is not easy to cure. If the condition is well controlled and there are no complications, it will not affect the patient’s survival, and there is no difference between the patient’s life expectancy and that of a normal person. However, if the patient’s pancreas is severely damaged and complications such as bile duct stenosis, pancreatic pseudocysts, pancreatic-origin pleural and abdominal fluid, pancreatic-origin portal hypertension, or even pancreatic cancer occur, it may affect the patient’s survival, especially when combined with pancreatic cancer, which results in a high mortality rate, a low cure rate, and a 5-year survival rate of generally no more than 20%. Patients with chronic pancreatitis should actively cooperate with doctors for treatment and follow the doctor’s instructions, have regular review, take medication on time, as well as strengthen life management and dietary management in order to control the condition.
