Figure38.1 Progressive model of chronic pancreatitis development. This model is based on the sentinel acute pancreatitis event (SAPE)
hypotheses where progression to CP begins with AP (stage B). Genetic and environmental risk/protective factors are present at all stages.
Stage A is asymptomatic, with the effects of underlying disorders being adequately compensated. Stage B represents acute pancreatitis,
which can be the first event (SAPE) or RAP, with SAPE sensitizing the pancreas to RAP. Stage C follows AP events where there is resolution
or progression, depending on ongoing injury or stress. Stage D defines “irreversible” damage, as currently required for diagnosing CP as a
disease. Note that risk/protective factors in different cell types are not surrogates of each other so the immune response (e.g., fibrosis) is
not a strict surrogate of acinar cell function, islet cell function, nervous system response, or oncogenesis (e.g., failed DNA injury repair).
This stage is hypothetically reversible with new therapies. Stage D is endmore radical surgical treatments. Source: Whitcomb etal. 2016[11]/with permission of Elsevier.

seen in all progressive disorders. The stages are useful for
classifying the patient’s disease state and trajectory, as
well as tracking severity indicators. All etiologies of
chronic pancreatitis go through progressive stages,
although in individual cases acute pancreatitis may not
be seen. Etiologies are also important since the likelihood of progressing from one stage to the next is strongly
affected by etiology.

distinct from Established CP in that the features are
reversible. The patient may have symptoms of one or
more underlying disorders, but has not met criteria for
chronic pancreatitis as a disease.
Currently, Stage C can only be diagnosed in retrospect
because the biomarkers are nonspecific and progression
is uncertain using traditional definitions and an imaging
approach to CP diagnosis. Other names for this stage
include “possible CP” and “probable CP.” In contrast, a
precision medicine approach defines the essence of the
Stage A. At Risk. This stage includes all patients with
risks for chronic pancreatitis who have no signs or symptoms of diseases and who have not had an episode of
acute pancreatitis. The patient may have dysfunction of
some physiologic processes, but the body is able to adapt
underlying process with a probability estimate of progression. Furthermore, the genetics can be used to determine and, in concert with specific biomarkers, help
diagnose a clinical disorder that, if left untreated, will
progress to a disease state.

3c[12–14]. This stage is also important because it defines
the end- stage disease features for individual patients
since not all features are present in everyone.
Diagnosis
A diagnosis is the art or act of identifying a disease in a
patient from its signs and symptoms. Diagnosing a disease
or disorder involves meeting predetermined criteria.
Diagnostic Criteria
Diagnostic criteria are a list of disease features that must
exist in a subject in order to diagnose the subject with a
disease. These criteria are typically defined by expert
opinions and established as consensus statements by
various organizations or societies. They typically
included signs and symptoms of the disease, biomarkers,
and pathologic features. The criteria also include degrees
of severity and features that distinguish the disease from
other disorders or diseases with overlapping features.
Pathologic Diagnosis
A pathologic diagnosis is the diagnosis of a disease based
on tissue analysis (including culturing of pathogenic
organisms). Because there are overlapping features of CP
and other disorders it is not possible to diagnosis CP with
certainty from tissue samples. Pathology is not the gold
standard for diagnosing CP[15]. A diagnosis also requires
the presence of clinical and functional elements.
Syndromes
A syndrome is a descriptive group of clinical signs and
symptoms that occur together and characterize a particular abnormality or condition. A disease can be
defined as syndromes without knowledge of the etiologies, pathogenic components, or mechanisms. AP, RAP,
and CP are clinical syndromes.
Differential Diagnosis
upstream of a duct- obstructing mass[10]. The traditional
diagnosis of CP required the underlying disorder to
advance to the point that it could be nothing else. But
since this stage is irreversible, only supportive treatments
are available (e.g., insulin and PERT). In precision medicine the genetic and genomic information provides
insights into the mechanism of pathogenesis and can also
provide insights into the probability of the differential
diagnosis[16]. This approach supports clinical decisions
as further work- up and treatments can be targeted to one
diagnosis or another, based on the likelihood that the
diagnosis is correct and the effect of the treatment (i.e., an
inexpensive and benign treatment can be started if there
remains some uncertainty, whereas a more expensive and
radical treatment should be delayed until the diagnosis is
confirmed with a high degree of confidence).
Etiology
Etiology defines the cause or origin of something. In
inflammatory diseases of the pancreas this may include
the etiology of mechanism dysfunction, a disorder, a disease, or a syndrome. The difference between a risk and
an etiology is whether or not there are biomarkers of
abnormal activity linked to the factor that defines a disorder or disease. The TIGAR- O list (List 1) summarizes
known risk/etiologies for RAP and CP[17].
Biomarkers
A biomarker is a characteristic that is objectively measured
and evaluated as an indicator of normal biological processes, pathogenic processes, or pharmacological responses
to a therapeutic intervention[18,19]. For CP, most biomarkers are normal biological molecules that are in the
wrong place or amount[20]. They also tend to be nonspecific, requiring panels of biomarkers to be considered. In
some cases biomarkers are more pancreasas serum trypsin, amylase, lipase, or CA19- 9 for pancreatic
cancer, although exceptions always exist.
specific, such
The differential diagnosis is a list of conditions and diseases that have overlapping signs and symptoms. The
differential diagnoses for CP include autoimmune inflammation, inflammation and fibrosis arising from the islets
related to long- standing diabetes mellitus, renal disease
causing secondary effects on the pancreas, medications
that alter the immune system (e.g., cyclosporin), agerelated atrophy or fibrosis, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, acinar cell cystadenoma , the desmoplastic
response to pancreatic neoplasm, and inflammation
Classification ofChronic Pancreatitis
Chronic pancreatitis can be classified by structural
severity, etiology, or functional stage:

correlate endoscopic retrograde cholangiography
(ERCP) images with pathologic progression [21]. The

TIGAR- O Etiologic Classification. TIGAR- O is an acronym for Toxic (including alcohol, smoking, hypertriglyceridemia), Idiopathic, Genetic, Autoimmune, Recurrent/
Severe AP and Obstructive etiologies[17] (Table38.1). In
general, autoimmune and obstructive do not fit the
mechanistic classification of chronic pancreatitis but are
important both for consideration in the differential diagnosis and for treatment[1].
Functional Stage Classification. Functional classification
systems are even more arbitrary than structural ones.
This is because the definition of EPI is based on vague
clinical signs and symptoms until the late stages, and the
threshold for pancreatic insufficiency is also dependent
on the metabolic and nutritional needs, the diet and
intestinal anatomy and health, and adaptability.
Furthermore, the tools for measuring pancreatic function often do not correlate with each other and no
adequate test exists [27]. Several approaches are in

Classification ofPancreatitis Using
Machine- Readable Codes
Medical care is progressing slowly as the complexity of
complex conditions becomes evident and new techniques provide massive amounts of information that
cannot be assimilated, understood, and utilized by
humans in efficient and organized ways. The advances in
computers allow data to be stored, organized, and transformed into something useable by humans. However, the
premise that “smart computers” can take blocks of unorganized data and solve complex diseases has stalled as
limits in natural language processing (NLP), machine
learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI) have failed
to bring clarity out of chaos. And one of the many challenges is that the definitions and organization of data is
based on the old Western medicine concepts arising
from the germ theory of disease and the scientific
method of populationpoorly defined syndromes as classifiers.
Challenges ofMultiple Object Identifiers
andClassification Systems
The goal of basic science research is to translate findings
into clinical research, and from clinical research into
clinical practice. The reverse is also important, translating observations in clinical practice back to clinical
research to generate new hypotheses, and then test the
hypotheses using basic research techniques. In the middle of these translations are the terms and descriptions of
data tags to be translated. Future success requires better
harmonization of data terms and discipline from physicians and scientist to use them consistently.
Progress in medicine is intimately linked to advances
in digital technology. This means that there needs to be
better synchronization between advancing science,
medicine, and electronic tags to specific disorders, diseases, biomarkers, and complications. The synchronization must also be mechanism- and disorder- based to
achieve advantages of precision medicine, and existing
data that is in a usable form must have the describers
from different systems harmonized so that there is seamless interoperability.
Digital taxonomy systems use object identifiers (OID)
to identify objects such as a code system or a value set
that represents a group of concepts. The current challenges are that there are multiple classification systems
and there are major overlaps of objects with different
concepts and codes for the same thing in different
based case- control studies using
systems. The problem is further confounded by the fact
that most terms are from modern Western medicine
concepts and definitions used by physicians and scientists are not always used appropriately and that outdated terms and concepts are not purged at the end of
their natural life cycle. Furthermore, many codes are
nonspecific, so that clarity on the subject’s disorder is
obscured.
Codes, Code Systems, andValue Sets
Successful interoperability is dependent on either using
common code systems for data capture or through mapping the unique codes to an interoperable code system [30]. Code systems are a collection of concepts
(ideas) with unique identifiers that are logically structured. This may be highly hierarchical systems or more
complex and nuanced systems (e.g., ICD- 10). The code
system structure provides each concept with a codesystem- specific meaning, a concept identifier (a code),
and a string description (the name, and a definition of
the concept meaning). Specific code systems used in
electronic health records and health information technology include ICD- 10- CM, CPT, SNOMED CT,
RxNorm, and LOINC. Other systems used in biology
include various GenBank, RefSeq etc for genetic information, the Gene Ontology knowledgebase (GO), and
many more. These systems encode content and enable
computer- based systems to find and utilize data without
human supervision. It has been noted that the best
approach for measure developers is to reduce the number of mapping steps required by focusing on content
that measured entities can easily capture during clinical
care, where metrics that are useful in the care of the
patient match those used in quality assessment and decision support systems[30].
Some Limitations
One of the key code systems used in the United States is
the International Classification of Disease (ICD) system.
This illustrates the challenge of transitioning from traditional “disease” definitions to defining disease mechanisms. Consider ICD- 10 codes for chronic pancreatitis
in the K86 class. The primary diagnoses are limited to
K86.0 (Alcohol- induced CP), K86.1 (Other CP), K86.8
Other specified diseases of pancreas (which are not billable codes in the United States) and K86.9 (Other specified disease s of the pancreas). K86.1includes “Pancreatitis
(inflammation of pancreas), chronic; exocrine pancreatic
insufficiency (K86.81); Chronic pancreatitis NOS [not
specified elsewhere]; Infectious chronic pancreatitis;
Recurrent chronic pancreatitis; Relapsing chronic
pancreatitis” without distinction between these very

different entities. K86.9 is even worse as “synonyms”
terms include “Aseptic necrosis of pancreas, Atrophy of
pancreas, Baggenstoss change of pancreas[31], Calculus
of pancreas, Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (also
coded as K86.81), Fat necrosis of pancreas, Fibrosis of
pancreas, Hemorrhage of pancreas, Mass of pancreas,
Necrosis of pancreas, Pancreas – baggenstoss change,
Pancreatemphraxis, Pancreatic acinar fistula, Pancreatic
aseptic necrosis, Pancreatic atrophy, Pancreatic calculus,
Pancreatic cirrhosis, Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency
(see K86.81), Pancreatic fistula, Pancreatic hemorrhage, Pancreatic infantilism, Pancreatic insufficiency,
Pancreatic mass, Pancreatic necrosis.”
Another system is the SNOMED- CT. This is a general
clinical reference system containing more that 357,000
healthcare concepts with unique meaning and logicbased definitions organized into hierarchies. In pancreatic disease, for example, there is a “parent/child”
relationship type that includes parent concept “Disorder
of the pancreas (3855007)” with child concepts “Atrophy
of the pancreas (88281007); Baggenstoss change of the
pancreas (61221008); Bard- Pic syndrome (45019006);
Calculus of pancreas (15402006); Complication of transplanted pancreas (79369007); Congenital malformation
of the pancreas (23497701); Congenital pancreatic enterokinase deficiency (10866001); Cyst of pancreas
(31258000); and Cystic fibrosis of the pancreas
(235978006).” This system does not include disorders of
the pancreas from most of the etiologies in the TIGAR- O
list[17], and partially overlaps diagnoses in ICD- 10.
One of the keys to precision medicine is genetics.
Specific human genetic variants can be coded using
RefSeq identifiers (rsID), but more complex genetic variants, including copy number variants and large deletions
or rearrangements, are not captured by these codes.
Furthermore, the interpretation of the effect of genetic
variants is primarily traditional autosomal dominate or
recessive disease with genetic variants within the coding
region identified as pathogenic (disease- causing alone),
likely pathogenic, uncertain, likely benign or benign[32].
There is no commonly accepted way to grade the effects
of “risk” variants, which are only disease- associated
under specific conditions and are often tied to regulatory
elements of gene expression rather than changing the
amino acid sequence of the gene product (i.e., for protein
coding genes). ClinVar is a public archive of genetic variants with free access to reports on the relationships
between human genetic variations and phenotypes, with
supporting evidence. But even here, the strength of evidence is variable, the effects of variants may be tissue- /
disease- specific and risk factors, which are critical in
understanding complex diseases, are seldom included or
noted to have effects since the sequence reports are
largely from traditional gene testing companies. Genetic
data is not well integrated into the electronic health
records in formats that are easily accessible.
A Way Forward
One issue that plagues ML applications comes from lack
of clean, well- structured data. Inclusion of IT- minded
folks in study design/data collection may solve many
issues of data cleaning, harmonization, and interpretation that remain a major barrier.
A solution to the larger problem of interpreting complex, multi- code, multi- concept data is the use of “expert
systems”[33]. An expert system is a computer program
that uses available information, heuristics, and inference
to suggest solutions to problems in a particular discipline
following the recommendations of experts in the field. In
brief, this approach takes extensive genetic data, patient
demographics, health histories, biomarkers, images, etc.
and integrates them using sequential framing, modeling
and trajectory approaches that an expert would use. In
the case of pancreatic disease, cell-
based models would
be used based on an understanding of acinar cell, duct
cell, islet cell, neurons and the nervous system, inflammatory cells biology as parallel process (see Fig. 38.1,
stages D and E), with cross- system integration (e.g., loss
of some acinar cell function with loss of islet function).
This is now feasible and may be an early example of true
personalized medicine.
Conclusions
Health information technology has already linked ML
and AI to assist in areas of reviewing and interpreting
images (e.g., CT, MRI, pathology, colonoscopy).
However, there is a lag in the development of useful clinical decision support tools in early diagnosis and accurate, mechanistic classification of complex disorders,
such as pancreatic disorders and subsequent diseases.
The first barrier to progress in complex disorders
includes the concepts upon which many of the coding
systems have been built, translation between genetics,
genomics, biomarkers, systems biology, and human disorders that lead to chronic diseases and all their nuances.
The second barrier is the proper use of terms and codes,
including genetics, in the clinical arena where patient
care is more important that billing codes, and where
billing codes are inherently inadequate tools for disease
management. A third barrier is the medical literature,
where the descriptions of concepts, patient context, and
complete data are inadequately coded so that studies
can be seamlessly harmonized and NLP can be more
useful because the authors adhere to a new HIT- enabling
writing structure.

Introduction
Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a clinically described syndrome that is characterized by consistent cellular stress
or repeated bouts of pancreatic injury that result in pancreatic atrophy, fibrosis and duct distortion, a chronic
pain syndrome (suggesting neural injury and responses),
and eventually loss of both exocrine and endocrine function. Depending on the proposed etiology of the disease,
there can be other secondary characteristics including
calcifications, duct centric inflammation with either
lymphocytes or neutrophils, or primarily an obstructive
phenotype. Focusing on the etiology of the injury and the
subsequent pathologic response is important to direct
our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of CP.
Risk Factors inChronic Pancreatitis
Although the diagnosis of CP is due to a convergence of
common pathological features seen at the end- stage of
the disease, there are distinct risk factors for CP
(Fig.39.1). These risk factors have been described by the
TIGARenvironmental factors, obstructive etiologies such as
anatomical or traumatic features, and immune- mediated
etiologies. The typical organ response to injury and cellular stress promotes recovery and regeneration of the
pancreas following injury. However, with repeated injury
or prolonged cellular stress, the organ response may
become pathologic and drive cellular loss and fibrotic
replacement of exocrine and endocrine cells. A proper
O classification [1]. They include genetic and
understanding of the molecular mechanisms of CP
requires that we address both the specific etiology, with
its associated genetic and epigenetic modifiers, as well as
the common pathologic response mediated through
both parenchymal cells of the pancreas and mesenchymal cells, including the immune cells and the pancreatic
stellate cells[2].
The current attempts to define CP focus on a clinical
description of the end histologic appearance of the pancreas, resulting from an immune-
mediated response to
stress or injury coupled to a fibrogenic wound response.
Although such a definition is useful clinically, it belies
the complexity of the process leading to CP. Pancreatitis
is an inflammatory disorder that involves a complex
immunologic cascade of events. Environmental cues
shape the initiation and progression of the immune system to accelerate or limit the immune response. The
immunologic response can be modulated by epigenetic
and genetic factors that alter the progression of the
disease. The inflammatory response is modulated by
cytokines and chemokines, produced by injured acinar
cells, that act as recruiting molecules for an immune repertoire. There are likely multiple modifying factors and
intervening steps that impact an individual patient’s clinical course but at some point, progression becomes similar because the end result of this process is a similar
histological pattern. In this chapter, we will focus on the
current understanding of these two distinct stages of disease development, specific etiologies and the immuneactivated fibrogenic response. The first stage of CP
development relates to specific risk factors, and the second stage is the organ fibrogenic response to injury.

Sentinel Acute Pancreatic Event Model
A disease model hypothesis has been proposed as a
framework for understanding how different risk factors
including environmental, genetic, and toxin mediated
injury could impact progression toward CP. The model is
the sentinel acute pancreatitis event hypothesis (or SAPE
hypothesis), and it uses the TIGAR- O risk classification
system, referring to Toxic- metabolic, Idiopathic, Genetic,
Autoimmune, Recurrent and severe acute pancreatitis,
and Obstructive [1]. In this model, risk factors impact
the pancreas through alterations in stress responses by
the parenchymal cells (acinar and duct cells). There are
also wound healing responses within the pancreas,
including the activation of the inflammatory (neutrophils and lymphocytes) and matrix remodeling systems
(macrophages and stellate cells) to allow regeneration to
occur. Once the risk factors overcome the adaptive
mechanisms within the pancreas, injury overtakes the
protective regenerative mechanisms, and clinical acute
pancreatitis ensues. Repeated bouts of acute pancreatitis
can lead to an injury-
wound response cycle that over
time causes loss of pancreatic cells and replacement with
a fibrotic matrix that is promoted by macrophages and
stellate cells. The progression of parenchymal tissue
destruction and fibrosis is the pathological phenomenon
of CP, graphically represented in Fig.39.2.
Epigenetics asa Modifying Factor
inChronic Pancreatitis
Epigenetics is the control of gene expression that does
not involve a change in the primary DNA sequence. In
other words, epigenetics refers to modifications of DNA,
for instance by methylation, or of chromatin structure

through the posttranslational modification of histone
proteins. The posttranslational modification of histones
can alter chromatin structure or may alter the affinity
transcription factors to promoter regions. The epigenome can have significant effects on human health as
well as disease susceptibility, and epigenetic alterations
can be induced through environmental and prenatal
exposures to toxins or stressors. Epigenetic changes can
be stable and allow “memory” of past stresses to impact
future exposures. Epigenetic alterations may be the result
of “subclinical” stresses on the pancreas that over time
allow molecular remodeling of stress responses to other
stimuli. These “subclinical” stresses may alter the epigenetic pattern of genes with little or no immediate effect
on gene expression; however, the gene may develop an
altered response in gene expression when exposed to a
new specific environmental cue. In the case of CP, there
are likely situations of epigenetic change that evade clinical notice until the time of exposure or triggering of risk
factors, which then induce the typical destructive, fibrogenic response of the disease. In experimental models of
pancreatitis, chronically stressed animals (such as with
ethanol exposure [3], a fatty diet [4], or genetic mutation[5]) have an altered response to acute injury compared to animals that have no chronic stress. Ethanol has
been shown to affect the action of several epigenetic proteins including the histone acetylases CREB and CBP[6]
as well as the histone deacetylases [7]. An epigenetic
acetylation mechanism was implicated for controlling
acute pancreatitis [8]. Delayed recovery was demonstrated in mice treated with the antiepileptic drug and
histone deacetylase inhibitor valproic acid (VPA). VPA is
thought to be a definite cause of pancreatitis, especially
in pediatric patients[9,10]; however, the mechanism by
which VPA induces pancreatitis was unknown. In fact,
chronically treating experimental animals with VPA

cells are under metabolic and oxidative stress (indicated by asterisks) but histology remains relatively normal. Alcohol increases the risk of
crossing the acute pancreatitis (AP) threshold (bold line crossing the dashed line). (b) Acute pancreatitis with pancreatic injury and infiltration
of proinflammatory cells. (c) Late acute pancreatitis is dominated by anti‐inflammatory cells that limit further injury by proinflammatory cells
and products, and promote healing. This includes activation of stellate cells, which produce collagen etc. (d) Recurrent acute pancreatitis
(RAP): acinar cell injury or other factors that activate an acute inflammatory response (Th1) are immediately countered by an anti‐
inflammatory counterresponse (Treg) which, among other things, drives fibrosis. This vicious cycle results in both continued injury (top) and
further fibrosis (bottom) leading to (e) extensive acinar cell loss and sclerosis (right) characteristic of chronic pancreatitis (CP). Both genetic
factors and environmental factors play a role in this process by increasing susceptibility to acute pancreatitis, altering the severity and
duration of acute pancreatitis and altering the healing processes that drive fibrosis. Source: Adapted from Whitcomb 2004 [3].
