Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP), a rare disorder associated with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). We aimed to describe phenotype and outcomes of AIP in patients with AIP. In AUG 3, 2017, DianeLorenzo and others published an article in << Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology>> which title is “Features of Autoimmune Pancreatitis Associated with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases”, performed a retrospective study of cases of AIP in IBD identified from the multi-center Groupe d'Etude Thérapeutique des Affections Inflammatoires du tube Digestif study, performed in Belgium and France from July 2012 through July 2015. Then they analyzed data from 91 individuals with AIP and IBD (47 women), seen at 23 centers (58 had ulcerative colitis [UC] and 33 Crohn's disease [CD]). In a multicenter retrospective analysis of patients with AIP and IBD, followed for an average of 5.7±4.9 yrs, we found most to have type 2 AIP. Two-thirds of patients have UC, often with proctitis. One-third of patients have CD, often with inflammatory features. Patients with IBD and AIP have higher rates of colectomy than patients with just IBD.
