Corrigendum to “Prevalence of primary painless chronic pancreatitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis” [Pancreatology 22 (1) (January 2022) 20–29] (Pancreatology (2022) 22(1) (20–29), (S1424390321006402), (10.1016/j.pan.2021.11.006))

The authors regret to have to make a correction within the results section in the abstract. The number of studies identified reporting painless chronic pancreatitis (CP) in patients with recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) has been removed as no studies could be identified. The following is the corrected version of the abstract: Among the 5057 studies identified and screened, 42 full-text articles were included in the final analysis. There were a total of 14,277 patients with CP among whom 1569 had painless CP. The pooled prevalence of painless CP was 12% (95% CI 10–15%). Among a subset of studies that reported on calcifications (n = 11), DM (n = 12) and EPI (n = 8), the pooled prevalence estimates were 96% (95% CI 73–100%), 51% (95% CI 32–70%), and 47% (95% CI 15–81%), respectively. Alcohol, idiopathic/genetic and other etiologies were attributed to be the cause of painless CP in 32.4%, 56.9% and 8.9% patients, respectively. The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
