Disease Burden of Recurrent/Chronic Pancreatitis Stratified by Age of Onset. Data reported as number of patients/number screened (%) or median (25,75 percentile). Bolded p-value represents statistical significance (p<0.05). Cochran-Armitage trend test used to calculate p-value for exocrine insufficiency and diabetes. Jonckheere-Terpstra test used to calculate all other p-values.
