Morphological Pancreatic Features in Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (PANDIAM)

February 28, 2023 updated by: J. Enrique Domínguez-Muñoz, Hospital Clinico Universitario de Santiago

Morphological Features of the Pancreas in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Correlation With Clinical Features of the Disease.

Hypothesis: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with pancreatic fibrosis that can be evaluated by minimally invasive imaging techniques. That fibrosis is associated with alteration of exocrine pancreatic function, defined as a reduced secretion of pancreatic enzymes and the development of nutritional deficiencies.

To test that hypothesis, a prospective, observational, cross-sectional, comparative, case-control study has been designed.

Pancreatic fibrosis will be evaluated by endoscopic ultrasound and quantitative elastography in cases (type-2 diabetes) and age-gender-matched controls without diabetes.

Pancreatic function will be explored by fecal elastase test and nutritional evaluation.

Calculated sample size is 94 patients (47 cases and 47 controls). Study period is 2 years.
